Hmm.
I was moving things back in 2019 but things shifted and this is no
longer required. If I apply both patches (of yours) then it sends a
signal with disabled interrupts which breaks my PREEMPT_RT case.

The requirement is to invoke the mitigation callback of the right CPU.
What about disabling preemption before getting the callback and doing
the invocation?
