This overlaps with some very similar updates that Peter Zijlstra is
working on which addresses some existing problems with wchan:

It probably makes sense for you to coordinate with Peter here, some of
that series is already merged up to his patch 6 which looks very
similar to what you've got here.  In that thread you'll see that Mark
Rutland spotted an issue with the handling of __switch_to() on arm64
which probably also applies to your change.
