Subject: x86/irq: Fix a race in x86_vector_free_irqs()

From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@linux.intel.com>

commit 111abeba67e0dbdc26537429de9155e4f1d807d8 upstream.

There's a race condition between

x86_vector_free_irqs()
{
	free_apic_chip_data(irq_data->chip_data);
	xxxxx	//irq_data->chip_data has been freed, but the pointer
		//hasn't been reset yet
	irq_domain_reset_irq_data(irq_data);
}

and

smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt()
{
	raw_spin_lock(&vector_lock);
	data = apic_chip_data(irq_desc_get_irq_data(desc));
	access data->xxxx	// may access freed memory
	raw_spin_unlock(&desc->lock);
}

which may cause smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() to access freed memory.

Call irq_domain_reset_irq_data(), which clears the pointer with vector lock
held.

[ tglx: Free memory outside of lock held region. ]
