genirq: Prevent use-after-free and work list corruption]

Hi Greg,

We forgot to mark 59c39840f5abf4a71e1 for -stable, please apply. It should apply cleanly all the way back to v3.0.

Thanks,

Ingo

genirq: Prevent use-after-free and work list corruption

When irq_set_affinity_notifier() replaces the notifier, then the reference count on the old notifier is dropped which causes it to be freed. But nothing ensures that the old notifier is not longer queued in the work list. If it is queued this results in a use after free and possibly in work list corruption.

Ensure that the work is canceled before the reference is dropped.
