[PATCH] irqflags: fix (at least latent) code generation issue

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Tue Nov 04 2014 - 03:23:16 EST


The conditional in local_irq_restore() otherwise can cause code bloat
(the if and else blocks may get translated into separate code paths
despite the generated code being identical, dependent on compiler
internal heuristics). Note that this adjustment gets the code in sync
with the comment preceding it (which was slightly wrong from at least
from 2.6.37 onwards).

The code bloat was observed in reality with an experimental x86 patch
I'm about to post as RFC.
