x86/i8259: Use printk_deferred() to prevent deadlock
commit bdd65589593edd79b6a12ce86b3b7a7c6dae5208 upstream. 0day reported a possible circular locking dependency: Chain exists of: &irq_desc_lock_class --> console_owner --> &port_lock_key Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&port_lock_key); lock(console_owner); lock(&port_lock_key); lock(&irq_desc_lock_class); The reason for this is a printk() in the i8259 interrupt chip driver which is invoked with the irq descriptor lock held, which reverses the lock operations vs. printk() from arbitrary contexts. Switch the printk() to printk_deferred() to avoid that.
