Yang Yingliang 6eda351971 genirq/irqdesc: Don't try to remove non-existing sysfs files
[ Upstream commit 9049e1ca41 ]

Fault injection tests trigger warnings like this:

  kernfs: can not remove 'chip_name', no directory
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 253 at fs/kernfs/dir.c:1616 kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0xce/0xe0
  RIP: 0010:kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0xce/0xe0
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   remove_files.isra.1+0x3f/0xb0
   sysfs_remove_group+0x68/0xe0
   sysfs_remove_groups+0x41/0x70
   __kobject_del+0x45/0xc0
   kobject_del+0x29/0x40
   free_desc+0x42/0x70
   irq_free_descs+0x5e/0x90

The reason is that the interrupt descriptor sysfs handling does not roll
back on a failing kobject_add() during allocation. If the descriptor is
freed later on, kobject_del() is invoked with a not added kobject resulting
in the above warnings.

A proper rollback in case of a kobject_add() failure would be the straight
forward solution. But this is not possible due to the way how interrupt
descriptor sysfs handling works.

Interrupt descriptors are allocated before sysfs becomes available. So the
sysfs files for the early allocated descriptors are added later in the boot
process. At this point there can be nothing useful done about a failing
kobject_add(). For consistency the interrupt descriptor allocation always
treats kobject_add() failures as non-critical and just emits a warning.

To solve this problem, keep track in the interrupt descriptor whether
kobject_add() was successful or not and make the invocation of
kobject_del() conditional on that.

[ tglx: Massage changelog, comments and use a state bit. ]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
