Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 1a90bfd220 smp: Make softirq handling RT safe in flush_smp_call_function_queue()
flush_smp_call_function_queue() invokes do_softirq() which is not available
on PREEMPT_RT. flush_smp_call_function_queue() is invoked from the idle
task and the migration task with preemption or interrupts disabled.

So RT kernels cannot process soft interrupts in that context as that has to
acquire 'sleeping spinlocks' which is not possible with preemption or
interrupts disabled and forbidden from the idle task anyway.

The currently known SMP function call which raises a soft interrupt is in
the block layer, but this functionality is not enabled on RT kernels due to
latency and performance reasons.

RT could wake up ksoftirqd unconditionally, but this wants to be avoided if
there were soft interrupts pending already when this is invoked in the
context of the migration task. The migration task might have preempted a
threaded interrupt handler which raised a soft interrupt, but did not reach
the local_bh_enable() to process it. The "running" ksoftirqd might prevent
the handling in the interrupt thread context which is causing latency
issues.

Add a new function which handles this case explicitely for RT and falls
back to do_softirq() on !RT kernels. In the RT case this warns when one of
the flushed SMP function calls raised a soft interrupt so this can be
investigated.
