Currently arm64 supports per-CPU IRQ stack, but softirqs
are still handled in the task context.
Since any call to local_bh_enable() at any level in the task's
call stack may trigger a softirq processing run, which could
potentially cause a task stack overflow if the combined stack
footprints exceed the stack's size, let's run these softirqs
on the IRQ stack as well.

I think this is the correct approach, but your patch conflicts with another
patch I have queued up in the asm-generic tree, see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic.git/commit/?h=asm-generic&id=f2c5092190f21
Please adapt accordingly.
Are there any architectures left that use IRQ stacks but don't
set HAVE_SOFTIRQ_ON_OWN_STACK? If not, we could
also consider removing the Kconfig symbol and just requiring
it to be done this way (for non-PREEMPT_RT).
