[S390] race safe external interrupt registration
The (un-)register_external_interrupt functions are not race safe if more than one interrupt handler is added or deleted for an external interrupt concurrently. Make the registration / unregistration of external interrupts race safe by using RCU and a spinlock. RCU is used to avoid a performance penalty in the external interrupt handler, the register and unregister functions are protected by the spinlock and are not performance critical. call_rcu must be used since the SCLP driver uses the interface with IRQs disabled. Also use the generic list implementation rather than homebrewn list code. Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber <jang@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
