commit 5cc2db37124bb33914996d6fdbb2ddb3811f2945 upstream.
__static_call_update_early() has a check for early_boot_irqs_disabled, but is used before early_boot_irqs_disabled is set up in start_kernel().
Xen PV has always special cased early_boot_irqs_disabled, but Xen PVH does not and falls over the BUG when booting as dom0.
It is very suspect that early_boot_irqs_disabled starts as 0, becomes 1 for a time, then becomes 0 again, but as this needs backporting to fix a breakage in a security fix, dropping the BUG_ON() is the far safer option.
