PATCH 1/1 userfaultfdv4.2 update for -mm

Oops there was a leftover _irq, now I also checked there's no other irq leftover, the word "irq" disappeared from the file.

The patch applies at the end but ideally should be moved earlier (anywhere before the patch that activates the syscall).

Thanks,
Andrea

#1 lore raw

PATCH 1/1 userfaultfd: cleanup superfluous _irq locking

This leftover shouldn't have caused any malfunction because the loop either schedules or it re-enables irqs immediately and schedule() doesn't seem to BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()). However lately we've been using the non blocking model so the schedule isn't really exercised here. Regardless of the side effects this must be fixed as it's not ok to enter schedule with irq disabled and it's not beneficial to toggle irqs in the first place.
