tick/broadcast: Prevent deadlock on tick_broadcast_lock
tick_broadcast_lock is taken from interrupt context, but the following call chain takes the lock without disabling interrupts: [ 12.703736] _raw_spin_lock+0x3b/0x50 [ 12.703738] tick_broadcast_control+0x5a/0x1a0 [ 12.703742] intel_idle_cpu_online+0x22/0x100 [ 12.703744] cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x245/0x9d0 [ 12.703752] cpuhp_thread_fun+0x52/0x110 [ 12.703754] smpboot_thread_fn+0x276/0x320 So the following deadlock can happen: lock(tick_broadcast_lock); <Interrupt> lock(tick_broadcast_lock); intel_idle_cpu_online() is the only place which violates the calling convention of tick_broadcast_control(). This was caused by the removal of the smp function call in course of the cpu hotplug rework. Instead of slapping local_irq_disable/enable() at the call site, we can relax the calling convention and handle it in the core code, which makes the whole machinery more robust.
