powerpc/64s: prevent recursive replay_soft_interrupts causing superfluous interrupt
When an asynchronous interrupt calls irq_exit, it checks for softirqs that may have been created, and runs them. Running softirqs enables local irqs, which can replay pending interrupts causing recursion in replay_soft_interrupts. This abridged trace shows how this can occur: ! NIP replay_soft_interrupts LR interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare Call Trace: interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare (unreliable) interrupt_return --- interrupt: ea0 at __rb_reserve_next NIP __rb_reserve_next LR __rb_reserve_next Call Trace: ring_buffer_lock_reserve trace_function function_trace_call ftrace_call __do_softirq irq_exit timer_interrupt ! replay_soft_interrupts interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare interrupt_return --- interrupt: ea0 at arch_local_irq_restore This can not be prevented easily, because softirqs must not block hard irqs, so it has to be dealt with. The recursion is bounded by design in the softirq code because softirq replay disables softirqs and loops around again to check for new softirqs created while it ran, so that's not a problem. However it does mess up interrupt replay state, causing superfluous interrupts when the second replay_soft_interrupts clears a pending interrupt, leaving it still set in the first call in the 'happened' local variable. Fix this by not caching a copy of irqs_happened across interrupt handler calls.
