Subject: [PATCH] x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after
 disabling irqs

Hi,

In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not always cleared when
a CPU is offlined. If the cpu that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is
hotplugged again, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may
crash.

Commit f6175f5bfb4c partially fixes this, but was not enough in
environments with IOMMU IRQ remapper.

This bug can be reproduced as following;
 # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
 # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts     # vector_irq@...7 uncleared
 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash

This patch fixes this bug by clearing vector_irq in __fixup_irqs() when
the cpu is offlined.
