drm/msm/dpu: Avoid ABBA deadlock between IRQ modules
Handling of the interrupt callback lists is done in dpu_core_irq.c, under the "cb_lock" spinlock. When these operations results in the need for enableing or disabling the IRQ in the hardware the code jumps to dpu_hw_interrupts.c, which protects its operations with "irq_lock" spinlock. When an interrupt fires, dpu_hw_intr_dispatch_irq() inspects the hardware state while holding the "irq_lock" spinlock and jumps to dpu_core_irq_callback_handler() to invoke the registered handlers, which traverses the callback list under the "cb_lock" spinlock. As such, in the event that these happens concurrently we'll end up with a deadlock. Prior to '1c1e7763a6d4 ("drm/msm/dpu: simplify IRQ enabling/disabling")' the enable/disable of the hardware interrupt was done outside the "cb_lock" region, optimitically by using an atomic enable-counter for each interrupt and an warning print if someone changed the list between the atomic_read and the time the operation concluded. Rather than re-introducing the large array of atomics, this change embraces the fact that dpu_core_irq and dpu_hw_interrupts are deeply entangled and make them share the single "irq_lock". Following this step it's suggested that we squash the two parts into a single irq handling thing.
