[PATCH -fixes] riscv: kexec: Avoid deadlock in kexec crash path

From: Song Shuai
Date: Fri Dec 08 2023 - 06:11:00 EST


If the kexec crash code is called in the interrupt context, the
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() function will trigger a deadlock while
trying to acquire the irqdesc spinlock and then deacitive irqchip.

To avoid the deadlock, this patch directly EOI the irq regardless of
the active status of irqchip.

Note that:

1. this deadlock can reproduced via echo EXCEPTION to lkdtm INT_HW_IRQ_EN point

2. RISC-V HLIC and PLIC irqchips don't have the irq_set_irqchip_state handler
and I don't know is it ok to deactive irqchip without the spinlock in this
code context, so I simply removed that snippet as arm and powerpc do.

I would like to listen to your advice.
