3.8.13.14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE <[email protected]>

commit 17405453f4ad0220721a29978692081be6392b8f upstream.

Prevent crash_kexec() from deadlocking on ioapic_lock. When
crash_kexec() is executed on a CPU, the CPU will take ioapic_lock
in disable_IO_APIC(). So if the cpu gets an NMI while locking
ioapic_lock, a deadlock will happen.

In this patch, ioapic_lock is zapped/initialized before disable_IO_APIC().

You can reproduce this deadlock the following way:

1. Add mdelay(1000) after raw_spin_lock_irqsave() in
   native_ioapic_set_affinity()@arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c

   Although the deadlock can occur without this modification, it will increase
   the potential of the deadlock problem.

2. Build and install the kernel

3. Set up the OS which will run panic() and kexec when NMI is injected
    # echo "kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
    # vim /etc/default/grub
      add "nmi_watchdog=0 crashkernel=256M" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line
    # grub2-mkconfig

4. Reboot the OS

5. Run following command for each vcpu on the guest
    # while true; do echo <CPU num> > /proc/irq/<IO-APIC-edge or 
IO-APIC-fasteoi>/smp_affinitity; done;
   By running this command, cpus will get ioapic_lock for setting affinity.

6. Inject NMI (push a dump button or execute 'virsh inject-nmi <domain>' if you
   use VM). After injecting NMI, panic() is called in an nmi-handler context.
   Then, kexec will normally run in panic(), but the operation will be stopped
   by deadlock on ioapic_lock in crash_kexec()->machine_crash_shutdown()->
   native_machine_crash_shutdown()->disable_IO_APIC()->clear_IO_APIC()->
   clear_IO_APIC_pin()->ioapic_read_entry().
