[PATCH v2] x86: mshyperv: Use kthread for vmbus interrupts on PREEMPT_RT

From: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]>

Resolves the following lockdep report when booting PREEMPT_RT on Hyper-V
with related guest support enabled:

As code paths that handle vmbus IRQs use sleepy locks under PREEMPT_RT,
the complete vmbus_handler execution needs to be moved into thread
context. Open-coding this allows to skip the IPI that irq_work would
additionally bring and which we do not need, being an IRQ, never an NMI.

Changes in v2:
 - reorder vmbus_irq_pending clearing to fix a race condition
