Random funny idea: Could we do some debug annotations (akin to
might_sleep) that splats when you might_sleep_interruptible somewhere
where interruptible sleeps are generally a bad idea? Like in
fops->release?

Something like non_block_start/end that I've recently done, but for
interruptible sleeps only? Would need might_sleep_interruptibly()
annotations and non_interruptly_sleep_start/end annotations.
