If we have a large amount of livepatches and want to print them
on the console using 'xl debug-keys x' we eventually hit
the preemption check:
if ( i && !(i % 64) )
{
spin_unlock(&payload_lock);
process_pending_softirqs();
if ( spin_trylock(&payload_lock) )
return
<facepalm> The effect is that we have just effectively
taken the lock and returned without unlocking!
