Subject: [221/272] PM / Runtime: Dont enable interrupts while running in_interrupt

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu>

commit c3810c88788d505d4ffd786addd111b745e42161 upstream.

This patch (as1445) fixes a bug in the runtime PM core left over from
the addition of the no_callbacks flag.  If this flag is set then it is
possible for rpm_suspend() to be called in_interrupt, so when
releasing spinlocks it's important not to re-enable interrupts.

To avoid an unnecessary save-and-restore of the interrupt flag, the
patch also inlines a pm_request_idle() call.

This fixes Bugzilla #27482.

(The offending code was added in 2.6.37, so it's not necessary to apply
this to any earlier stable kernels.)
