[PATCH] genirq: change force_irqthreads from bool test to static key

From: Tanner Love
Date: Wed Jun 02 2021 - 14:03:50 EST


From: Tanner Love <tannerlove@xxxxxxxxxx>

With CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING=y, testing the bool force_irqthreads
could incur a cache line miss in invoke_softirq().

Replace the test with a static key to avoid the potential cache miss.
