Subject: [PATCH] irq_poll: Use raise_softirq_irqoff() in cpu_dead notifier
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 21:16:30 +0200

__raise_softirq_irqoff() adds a bit to the pending sofirq mask and this
is it. The softirq won't be handled in a deterministic way but randomly
when an interrupt fires and handles softirq in its irq_exit() routine or
if something randomly checks and handles pending softirqs in the call
chain before the CPU goes idle.

Add a local_bh_disable/enable() around the IRQ-off section which will
handle pending softirqs.
