[PATCH MANUALSEL 4.9 2/3] lib/irq_poll: Prevent softirq pending leak in irq_poll_cpu_dead()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 75d8cce128c516fe6cf4b8683e8fe1a59e919902 ]

irq_poll_cpu_dead() pulls the blk_cpu_iopoll backlog from the dead CPU and
raises the POLL softirq with __raise_softirq_irqoff() on the CPU it is
running on. That just sets the bit in the pending softirq mask.

This means the handling of the softirq is delayed until the next interrupt
or a local_bh_disable/enable() pair. As a consequence the CPU on which this
code runs can reach idle with the POLL softirq pending, which triggers a
warning in the NOHZ idle code.

Add a local_bh_disable/enable() pair around the interrupts disabled section
in irq_poll_cpu_dead(). local_bh_enable will handle the pending softirq.
