3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit d97eb8966c91f2c9d05f0a22eb89ed5b76d966d1 ]
When an interrupt is migrated away from a cpu it will stay in its vector_irq array until smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt succeeded. The cfg->move_in_progress flag is cleared already when the IPI was sent.
When the interrupt is destroyed after migration its 'struct irq_desc' is freed and the vector_irq arrays are cleaned up. But since cfg->move_in_progress is already 0 the references at cpus before the last migration will not be cleared. So this would leave a reference to an already destroyed irq alive.
When the cpu is taken down at this point, the check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() function finds a valid irq number in the vector_irq array, but gets NULL for its descriptor and dereferences it, causing a kernel panic.
This has been observed on real systems at shutdown. Add a check to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() for a valid 'struct irq_desc' to prevent this issue.
