4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Anna-Maria Gleixner <anna-maria@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 80d20d35af1edd632a5e7a3b9c0ab7ceff92769e upstream.
local_timer_softirq_pending() checks whether the timer softirq is
pending with: local_softirq_pending() & TIMER_SOFTIRQ.
This is wrong because TIMER_SOFTIRQ is the softirq number and not a
bitmask. So the test checks for the wrong bit.
Use BIT(TIMER_SOFTIRQ) instead.
Fixes: 5d62c183f9e9 ("nohz: Prevent a timer interrupt storm in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()")
