Subject: x86/apic: Handle zero vector gracefully in clear_vector_irq()

From: Keith Busch <[email protected]>

commit 1bdb8970392a68489b469c3a330a1adb5ef61beb upstream.

If x86_vector_alloc_irq() fails x86_vector_free_irqs() is invoked to cleanup the already allocated vectors. This subsequently calls clear_vector_irq().

The failed irq has no vector assigned, which triggers the BUG_ON(!vector) in clear_vector_irq().

We cannot suppress the call to x86_vector_free_irqs() for the failed interrupt, because the other data related to this irq must be cleaned up as well. So calling clear_vector_irq() with vector == 0 is legitimate.

Remove the BUG_ON and return if vector is zero,
