Ok that's of course very unlikely but could it be possible to have the
following:

CPU 0                         CPU 1                                     CPU 2
-----       

//Wake up A
ttwu_queue(TASK A, CPU 1)     idle_loop {
                                  ttwu_queue_pending {
                                      ....
                                      raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(rq)
                                      # VMEXIT (with IPI still pending)
                                                                        //task A migrates here
                                                                        wait_event(....)
                                                                        //sleep

//Wake up A
ttwu_queue(TASK A, CPU 2) {
    //IPI on CPU 2 ignored
    // due to csd->flags == CSD_LOCK
