commit 036592fbbe753d236402a0ae68148e7c143a0f0e upstream.

Commit 25642e1459ac ("powerpc/opal-irqchip: Fix double endian
conversion") fixed an endian bug by calling opal_handle_events() in
opal_event_unmask().

However this introduced a deadlock if we find an event is active
during unmasking and call opal_handle_events() again. The bad call
sequence is:

  opal_interrupt()
  -> opal_handle_events()
     -> generic_handle_irq()
        -> handle_level_irq()
           -> raw_spin_lock(&desc->lock)
              handle_irq_event(desc)
              unmask_irq(desc)
              -> opal_event_unmask()
                 -> opal_handle_events()
                    -> generic_handle_irq()
                       -> handle_level_irq()
                          -> raw_spin_lock(&desc->lock)	(BOOM)

When generating multiple opal events in quick succession this would lead
to the following stall warnings:

EEH: Fenced PHB#0 detected, location: U78C9.001.WZS09XA-P1-C32
INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

         (detected by 13, t=2102 jiffies, g=1325, c=1324, q=602)
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#18 stuck for 22s! [irqbalance:2696]

         12-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=68f/140000000000001/0 softirq=860/861 fqs=8371
         15-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=be5/140000000000001/0 softirq=1142/1143 fqs=8371
         (detected by 20, t=8407 jiffies, g=1325, c=1324, q=1290)

This patch corrects the problem by queuing the work if an event is
active during unmasking, which is similar to the pre-endian fix
behaviour.
