Subject: Fix crash with irqpoll due to the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag
From: Bernhard Walle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
o System crashes if booted with irqpoll command line option.
o Problem happens because Inside note_interrupt() we are accessing
desc->action->flag without taking the desc->lock. While accessing it
somebody goes ahead and unregisters the irq handler hence desc->action
is NULL. By the time note_interrupt() checks it, it crashes.
o In that system it is irq 4 serving the serial driver.
o Take the desc->lock before accessing desc->action->flag.
