[PATCH] genirq: Synchronize only with single thread on free_irq()

[Lukas Wunner]

When pciehp is converted to threaded IRQ handling, removal of unplugged
devices below a PCIe hotplug port happens synchronously in the IRQ
thread.  Removal of devices typically entails a call to free_irq() by
their drivers.

If those devices share their IRQ with the hotplug port, free_irq()
deadlocks because it calls synchronize_irq() to wait for all hard IRQ
handlers as well as all threads sharing the IRQ to finish.

Actually it's sufficient to wait only for the IRQ thread of the removed
device, so call synchronize_hardirq() to wait for all hard IRQ handlers
to finish, but no longer for any threads.  Compensate by rearranging the
control flow in irq_wait_for_interrupt() such that the device's thread
is allowed to run one last time after kthread_stop() has been called.
