x86: prevent call to xfree() in dump_irqs() while in an irq context Because of c/s 24707:96987c324a4f, dump_irqs() can now be called in an irq context when a bug condition is encountered. If this is the case, ignore the call to xsm_show_irq_ssid() and the subsequent call to xfree(). This prevents an assertion failure in xfree(), and should allow all the debug information to be dumped, before failing with a BUG() because of the underlying race condition we are attempting to reproduce. Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper Rather than using the non-obvious conditional around an xfree() that would be passed NULL only in the inverse case (which could easily get removed by a future change on the basis that calling xfree(NULL) is benign), switch the order of checks in xfree() itself and only suppress the call to XSM that could potentially call xmalloc().
