I'd do a prep patch that moves the insert logic out of this function,
and just have the caller do it by return BLK_STS_RESOURCE, for instance.
It's silly that we have that in both the caller and inside this function.

Should be fine to just do smp_processor_id() here, as we're inside
hctx_lock() here.
