If that happens, the kernel is doing something wrong, and needs to be
fixed :)

Seriously, if you know of any such bugs, please let the kernel
developers know and they will be fixed, just like we've fixed this same
type of bug many many times in the past.

So don't worry too much about this one, it shouldn't be an issue.
