The lazy MMU mode cannot be used in interrupt context. This is documented in , but isn't consistently handled across architectures. arm64 ensures that calls to lazy_mmu_mode_* have no effect in interrupt context, because such calls do occur in certain configurations - see commit b81c688426a9 ("arm64/mm: Disable barrier batching in interrupt contexts"). Other architectures do not check this situation, most likely because it hasn't occurred so far. Let's handle this in the new generic lazy_mmu layer, in the same fashion as arm64: bail out of lazy_mmu_mode_* if in_interrupt(). Also remove the arm64 handling that is now redundant. Both arm64 and x86/Xen also ensure that any lazy MMU optimisation is disabled while in interrupt (see queue_pte_barriers() and xen_get_lazy_mode() respectively). This will be handled in the generic layer in a subsequent patch.
