My bad, I didn't notice you were releasing the lock after calling
reinit_completion(). I still find this solution more complex than my
proposal, but I don't care that much.

Well, it was just a precaution, in case some interrupts weren't cleared
during the previous test (for example if they were masked before the
event actually happened, which can occur if you have a timeout, but
the event is detected afterward).

Anyway, you seem confident that you're doing the right thing, so I'll
let you decide what is appropriate and redirect any bug report to you if
that happens :-P.
