[PATCH 3.19-rc2 v13 2/5] irqchip: gic: Make gic_raise_softirq FIQ-safe

[Daniel Thompson]

It is currently possible for FIQ handlers to re-enter gic_raise_softirq()
and lock up.

    	gic_raise_softirq()
	   lock(x);
-~-> FIQ
        handle_fiq()
	   gic_raise_softirq()
	      lock(x);		<-- Lockup

arch/arm/ uses IPIs to implement arch_irq_work_raise(), thus this issue
renders it difficult for FIQ handlers to safely defer work to less
restrictive calling contexts.

This patch fixes the problem by converting the cpu_map_migration_lock
into a rwlock making it safe to re-enter the function.

Note that having made it safe to re-enter gic_raise_softirq() we no
longer need to mask interrupts during gic_raise_softirq() because the
b.L migration is always performed from task context.
