------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Fix crash with irqpoll due to the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag
From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@xxxxxxx>

o System crashes if booted with irqpoll command line option.

o Problem happens because Inside note_interrupt() we are accessing
  desc->action->flag without taking the desc->lock. While accessing it
  somebody goes ahead and unregisters the irq handler hence desc->action
  is NULL. By the time note_interrupt() checks it, it crashes.

o In that system it is irq 4 serving the serial driver.

o Take the desc->lock before accessing desc->action->flag.
