Once this series is applied nobody knows what 'front patch 6 ~ 13' did.

Simply say:

 ARM64 requires an additional whether to reschedule on return from
 interrupt.

 Add arch_irqentry_exit_need_resched() as the default NOOP
 implementation and hook it up into the need_resched() condition in
 raw_irqentry_exit_cond_resched().

 This allows ARM64 to implement the architecture specific version for
 switchting over to the generic entry code.

That explains things completely independently. Hmm?
