[PATCH 3.18-rc4 v11 2/6] irqchip: gic: Optimize locking in gic_raise_softirq

From: Daniel Thompson
Date: Thu Nov 27 2014 - 15:11:16 EST


Currently gic_raise_softirq() unconditionally takes and releases a lock
whose only purpose is to synchronize with the b.L switcher.

Remove this lock if the b.L switcher is not compiled in.
