I don't think doing list_empty outside the critical section is totally
safe.. You might want to move it down inside the spin_lock() section.

The part that's a little confusing here is that the interrupt can
actually activate the workqueue .. So I'm wondering if maybe you could
have this interrupt driven any workqueue driven at the same time? If you
could then you would need the above to be 
spin_lock_irq/spin_lock_irqsave ..
