I'm so familiar with the code/context.  Are you saying disable_nonboot_cpus
sleeps and kernel_power_off never gets called from IRQ context?

I tested the code change below on kernel_restart with
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled.  It fixes imx6q restart issue (with
no change on cpu_relax) while no sleep-inside-atomic-section warning
is seen.
