  rcu: Fix racy re-initialization of irq_work causing hangs (2025-08-11 08:43:49 +0530)

RCU fix for v6.17

Fix a regression introduced by commit b41642c87716 ("rcu: Fix
rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to IRQ work") which results in boot hang
as reported by kernel test bot at [1]. This issue happens because RCU
re-initializes the deferred QS IRQ work everytime it is queued. With
commit b41642c87716, the IRQ work re-initialization can happen while it
is already queued. This results in IRQ work being requeued to itself.
When IRQ work finally fires, as it is requeued to itself, it is
repeatedly executed and results in hang. Fix this with initializing the
IRQ work only once before the CPU boots.
