From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 6ff53f6a438f72998f56e82e76694a1df9d1ea2c upstream. Add a synchronize_rcu() after clearing the posted interrupt wakeup handler to ensure all readers, i.e. in-flight IRQ handlers, see the new handler before returning to the caller. If the caller is an exiting module and is unregistering its handler, failure to wait could result in the IRQ handler jumping into an unloaded module. The registration path doesn't require synchronization, as it's the caller's responsibility to not generate interrupts it cares about until after its handler is registered.
