Yes, you're correct. Should I be holding the locks? I didn't think
that you'd want to call kmalloc() with GFP_KERNEL inside a spinlock
because it might sleep. So, I moved the kmalloc() to be one of the
first things done to avoid being inside the lock(s). The comment at the
top of the function is correct: it IS bonkers!
