When testing F2FS with xfstests using UFS backed virtual disks the
kernel complains sometimes that f2fs_release_decomp_mem() calls
vm_unmap_ram() from an invalid context.

It will be better to include testcase & crash information in commit
message.


This patch modifies in_task() check inside f2fs_read_end_io() to also
check if interrupts are disabled. This ensures that pages are unmapped
asynchronously in an interrupt handler.

Fixes: bff139b (f2fs: handle decompress only post processing in softirq)

./scripts/checkpatch.pl will output below warning message:

WARNING: Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>")' - ie: 'Fixes: bff139b49d9f ("f2fs: handle decompress only post processing in softirq")'

Please use this instead:

Fixes: bff139b49d9f ("f2fs: handle decompress only post processing in softirq")
