Not related to this as the fix is good, but I was obviously half asleep
when guard() got added to this function which is full of gotos :(

If you have time could you look at factoring out helper that basically lifts
everything before trigger_notify_done() which should not be done with
the guard held - at least in this case it's not a deadlock source
as the device doesn't have any triggers!

That helper can use guard() and do direct returns to simplify the code flow.

Anyhow, this fix is good so applied and marked for stable.
