Should this give a warning?

Also, can you remind me why this is safe if two CPUs both call
handle_sysrq() at the same time? Can't both of them make it past this?
That doesn't seem so great.

It looks like irq_work_queue() returns false if it fails to queue.
Maybe it's worth checking and setting "sysrq_nmi_key" back to -1 if it
fails?
