RCU re-initializes the deferred QS irq work everytime before attempting
to queue it. However there are situations where the irq work is
attempted to be queued even though it is already queued. In that case
re-initializing messes-up with the irq work queue that is about to be
handled.
The chances for that to happen are higher when the architecture doesn't
support self-IPIs and irq work are then all lazy, such as with the
following sequence:
1) rcu_read_unlock() is called when IRQs are disabled and there is a
grace period involving blocked tasks on the node. The irq work
is then initialized and queued.
2) The related tasks are unblocked and the CPU quiescent state
is reported. rdp->defer_qs_iw_pending is reset to DEFER_QS_IDLE,
allowing the irq work to be requeued in the future (note the previous
one hasn't fired yet).
3) A new grace period starts and the node has blocked tasks.
4) rcu_read_unlock() is called when IRQs are disabled again. The irq work
is re-initialized (but it's queued! and its node is cleared) and
requeued. Which means it's requeued to itself.
5) The irq work finally fires with the tick. But since it was requeued
to itself, it loops and hangs.
Fix this with initializing the irq work only once before the CPU boots.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
