Review comment:
Honestly, I don't know.
The point I am having trouble to understand is why is the first check
needed, this one:
```c
if (g_lcl_isset > 0 && name && strcmp(g_lcl_tzname, name) == 0)
{
return;
}
```
In my mind right now there is the following question: Why isn't the fix just
the addition of the following check in the function entry:
```c
#ifndef __KERNEL__
if (up_interrupt_context())
{
return;
}
#endif
```
Because the code paths I am considering are:
1) If it's executing in interrupt context, the function will return either
by the first or by the second condition.
2) If it's executing in user/process context, it will check the global
variables twice, first without locking the semaphore (not thread-safe) and
second by locking the semaphore (thread-safe).
