From: Edward Cree <ecree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit df81dfcfd6991d547653d46c051bac195cd182c1 upstream. The handling of notify->work did not properly maintain notify->kref in two cases: 1) where the work was already scheduled, another irq_set_affinity_locked() would get the ref and (no-op-ly) schedule the work. Thus when irq_affinity_notify() ran, it would drop the original ref but not the additional one. 2) when cancelling the (old) work in irq_set_affinity_notifier(), if there was outstanding work a ref had been got for it but was never put. Fix both by checking the return values of the work handling functions (schedule_work() for (1) and cancel_work_sync() for (2)) and put the extra ref if the return value indicates preexisting work.
