[4.19 stable-rt PATCH] tasklet: Fix UP case for tasklet CHAINED state

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Tue Jun 09 2020 - 12:21:48 EST


4.19 stable-rt commit 62d0a2a30cd0 (tasklet: Address a race resulting in
double-enqueue) addresses a problem that can result in a tasklet being
enqueued on two cpus at the same time by combining the RUN flag with a
new CHAINED flag, and relies on the combination to be present in order
to zero it out, which can never happen on !SMP because the RUN flag
is SMP-only.

So make sure the above commit is only applied for the SMP case.
