From: Hou Wenlong Remove the code to disable IRQs when unregistering KVM's user-return notifier now that KVM doesn't invoke kvm_on_user_return() when disabling virtualization via IPI function call, i.e. now that there's no need to guard against re-entrancy via IPI callback. Note, disabling IRQs has largely been unnecessary since commit a377ac1cd9d7b ("x86/entry: Move user return notifier out of loop") moved fire_user_return_notifiers() into the section with IRQs disabled. In doing so, the commit somewhat inadvertently fixed the underlying issue that was papered over by commit 1650b4ebc99d ("KVM: Disable irq while unregistering user notifier"). I.e. in practice, the code and comment has been stale since commit a377ac1cd9d7b.
