commit bf37da98c51825c90432d340e135cced37a7460d upstream.
The rcu_nmi_enter_common() function can be invoked both in interrupt
and NMI handlers. If it is invoked from process context (as opposed
to userspace or idle context) on a nohz_full CPU, it might acquire the
CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock. Because this lock is held only
with interrupts disabled, this is safe from an interrupt handler, but
doing so from an NMI handler can result in self-deadlock.
This commit therefore adds "irq" to the "if" condition so as to only
acquire the ->lock from irq handlers or process context, never from
an NMI handler.
Fixes: 5b14557b073c ("rcu: Avoid tick_dep_set_cpu() misordering")
