Subject: [PATCH 4.6 60/81] x86/entry/traps: Dont force in_interrupt() to return true in IST handlers

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

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

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

commit aaee8c3c5cce2d9107310dd9f3026b4f901d441c upstream.

Forcing in_interrupt() to return true if we're not in a bona fide
interrupt confuses the softirq code.  This fixes warnings like:

  NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 282

... which can happen when running things like selftests/x86.

This will change perf's static percpu buffer usage in IST context.
I think this is okay, and it's changing the behavior to match
historical (pre-4.0) behavior.
