Subject: [PATCH 4.19 111/346] sched: Reenable interrupts in do_sched_yield()

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 345a957fcc95630bf5535d7668a59ed983eb49a7 ]

do_sched_yield() invokes schedule() with interrupts disabled which is
not allowed. This goes back to the pre git era to commit a6efb709806c
("[PATCH] irqlock patch 2.5.27-H6") in the history tree.

Reenable interrupts and remove the misleading comment which "explains" it.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
