powerpc/64: irq_work avoid interrupt when called with hardware irqs enabled
irq_work_raise should not cause a decrementer exception unless it is
called from NMI context. Doing so often just results in an immediate
masked decrementer interrupt:
<...>-550 90d... 4us : update_curr_rt <-dequeue_task_rt
<...>-550 90d... 5us : dbs_update_util_handler <-update_curr_rt
<...>-550 90d... 6us : arch_irq_work_raise <-irq_work_queue
<...>-550 90d... 7us : soft_nmi_interrupt <-soft_nmi_common
<...>-550 90d... 7us : printk_nmi_enter <-soft_nmi_interrupt
<...>-550 90d.Z. 8us : rcu_nmi_enter <-soft_nmi_interrupt
<...>-550 90d.Z. 9us : rcu_nmi_exit <-soft_nmi_interrupt
<...>-550 90d... 9us : printk_nmi_exit <-soft_nmi_interrupt
<...>-550 90d... 10us : cpuacct_charge <-update_curr_rt
The soft_nmi_interrupt here is the call into the watchdog, due to the
decrementer interrupt firing with irqs soft-disabled. This is
harmless, but sub-optimal.
When it's not called from NMI context or with interrupts enabled, mark
the decrementer pending in the irq_happened mask directly, rather than
having the masked decrementer interupt handler do it. This will be
replayed at the next local_irq_enable. See the comment for details.
