Subject: [PATCH v1] lib: cpu_rmap: avoid flushing all workqueues
In some cases, free_irq_cpu_rmap() is called while holding a lock
(eg. rtnl). This can lead to deadlocks, because it invokes
flush_scheduled_work() which ends up waiting for whole system
workqueue to flush, but some pending works might try to acquire the
lock we are already holding.
This commit uses reference-counting to replace
irq_run_affinity_notifiers(). It also removes
irq_run_affinity_notifiers() altogether.
