Pull RCU fix from Neeraj Upadhyay: "Fix a regression introduced by commit b41642c8 ("rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to IRQ work") which results in boot hang as reported by kernel test bot at [1]. This issue happens because RCU re-initializes the deferred QS IRQ work everytime it is queued. With commit b41642c8, the IRQ work re-initialization can happen while it is already queued. This results in IRQ work being requeued to itself. When IRQ work finally fires, as it is requeued to itself, it is repeatedly executed and results in hang. Fix this with initializing the IRQ work only once before the CPU boots" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/rcu/202508071303.c1134cce-lkp@intel.com/ [1] * tag 'rcu.fixes.6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux: rcu: Fix racy re-initialization of irq_work causing hangs
