The WARN is valid and did help to document the design of the code.
Good point about the cancel_sync taking the mutex again, oops, and
indeed all we need here is just the call to sync.

As far as I can see, the timer will expire gracefully under normal
conditions with the only cancel_sync being during shutdown, so
serialisation of the tasklet under mode_config looks robust.
