genirq: Remove racy waitqueue_active check
We hit one rare case below: T1 calling disable_irq(), but hanging at synchronize_irq() always; The corresponding irq thread is in sleeping state; And all CPUs are in idle state; After analysis, we found there is one possible scenerio which causes T1 is waiting there forever: CPU0 CPU1 synchronize_irq() wait_event() spin_lock() atomic_dec_and_test(&threads_active) insert the __wait into queue spin_unlock() if(waitqueue_active) atomic_read(&threads_active) wake_up() Here after inserted the __wait into queue on CPU0, and before test if queue is empty on CPU1, there is no barrier, it maybe cause it is not visible for CPU1 immediately, although CPU0 has updated the queue list. It is similar for CPU0 atomic_read() threads_active also. So we'd need one smp_mb() before waitqueue_active.that, but removing the waitqueue_active() check solves it as wel l and it makes things simple and clear.
