In opal_event_shutdown() we free all the IRQs hanging off the
opal_event_irqchip. However it's not safe to do so if we're called
from IRQ context, because free_irq() wants to synchronise versus IRQ
context. This can lead to warnings and a stuck system.
For example from sysrq-b:
Trying to free IRQ 17 from IRQ context!

We can avoid that by using disable_irq_nosync() rather than
free_irq(). Although it doesn't fully free the IRQ, it should be
sufficient when we're shutting down, particularly in an emergency.
Add an in_interrupt() check and use free_irq() when we're shutting
down normally. It's probably OK to use disable_irq_nosync() in that
case too, but for now it's safer to leave that behaviour as-is.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
