x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disabling irqs
In the current kernel, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not always cleared when a CPU is offlined. If the CPU that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged again, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may crash. This bug can be reproduced as following; # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash To fix this problem, this patch clears vector_irq in __fixup_irqs() when the CPU is offlined. This also reverts commit f6175f5b, which partially fixes this bug by clearing vector in __clear_irq_vector(). But in environments with IOMMU IRQ remapper, it could fail because cfg->domain doesn't contain offlined CPUs. With this patch, the fix in __clear_irq_vector() can be reverted because every vector_irq is already cleared in __fixup_irqs() on offlined CPUs.
