Yes, there is. I think that wakeup_source_create/_destroy() should
use the same initialization functions internally that will be used for
externally allocated wakeup sources (to make sure that all wakeup source
objects are initialized in exactly the same way).

OK, below is another go. It doesn't copy the name if wakeup_source_init() is
used (which also does the _add this time). I think, though, that copying
the name is generally safer, because someone might use wakeup_source_init()
with the name string allocated on the stack or otherwise temporary, which would
be a bug with the new version.

Thanks,
Rafael
