softirq: Don't try waking ksoftirqd before it has been spawned
If there is heavy softirq activity, the softirq system will attempt
to awaken ksoftirqd and will stop the traditional back-of-interrupt
softirq processing. This is all well and good, but only if the
ksoftirqd kthreads already exist, which is not the case during early
boot, in which case the system hangs.
One reproducer is as follows:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 2 --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=n" --bootargs "threadirqs=1" --trust-make
This commit therefore adds a couple of existence checks for ksoftirqd
and forces back-of-interrupt softirq processing when ksoftirqd does not
yet exist. With this change, the above test passes.
