I've been able to bisect s390 hang to commit b614345f52bc ("x86/entry:
Clarify irq_{enter,exit}_rcu()").

After this commit, lockdep_hardirq_exit() is called twice on s390 (and
others) - one time in irq_exit_rcu() and another one in irq_exit():

/**
 * irq_exit_rcu() - Exit an interrupt context without updating RCU
 *
 * Also processes softirqs if needed and possible.
 */
void irq_exit_rcu(void)
{
	__irq_exit_rcu();
	 /* must be last! */
	lockdep_hardirq_exit();
}

/**
 * irq_exit - Exit an interrupt context, update RCU and lockdep
 *
 * Also processes softirqs if needed and possible.
 */
void irq_exit(void)
{
	irq_exit_rcu();
	rcu_irq_exit();
	 /* must be last! */
	lockdep_hardirq_exit();
}

Removing the call in irq_exit() make s390 boot again, and judgung by the
x86 entry code, the comment /* must be last! */ is stale...

@Peter, @Thomas, can you comment please?

Subject: [PATCH] softirq: don't call lockdep_hardirq_exit() twice

After commit b614345f52bc ("x86/entry: Clarify irq_{enter,exit}_rcu()")
lockdep_hardirq_exit() is called twice on every architecture that uses
irq_exit(): one time in irq_exit_rcu() and another one in irq_exit().

Remove the extra call in irq_exit().
