5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 7912405643a14b527cd4a4f33c1d4392da900888 upstream.
The compiler can fully inline the actual handler function of an interrupt entry into the .irqentry.text entry point. If such a function contains an access which has an exception table entry, modpost complains about a section mismatch:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x447c): Section mismatch in reference ...
The relocation at __ex_table+0x447c references section ".irqentry.text" which is not in the list of authorized sections.
Add .irqentry.text to OTHER_SECTIONS to cure the issue.
