Mhhh is it safe to do so? I mean it seems very wrong to print a warning
and BUG() instead of disabling the interrupt only if napi can be
scheduled... Maybe is very old code? The more I see this the more I see
problem... (randomly disabling the interrupt and then make the kernel
die)

Ehhh here we need to be careful... We can do the usual prep/__schedule
with the DMA disable in between...

>From the comments of iwl_pcie_clear_irq.

	/*
	 * Before sending the interrupt the HW disables it to prevent
	 * a nested interrupt. This is done by writing 1 to the corresponding
	 * bit in the mask register. After handling the interrupt, it should be
	 * re-enabled by clearing this bit. This register is defined as
	 * write 1 clear (W1C) register, meaning that it's being clear
	 * by writing 1 to the bit.
	 */

So the device disable the interrupt after being fired and the bit needs
to set again for the interrupt to be reenabled. So the function
correctly reenable the irq if a napi can't be scheduled... Think there
isn't another way to handle this.
