Liam R. Howlett 3569ad5966 kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup
commit cff9b2332a upstream.

Initial booting is setting the task flag to idle (PF_IDLE) by the call
path sched_init() -> init_idle().  Having the task idle and calling
call_rcu() in kernel/rcu/tiny.c means that TIF_NEED_RESCHED will be
set.  Subsequent calls to any cond_resched() will enable IRQs,
potentially earlier than the IRQ setup has completed.  Recent changes
have caused just this scenario and IRQs have been enabled early.

This causes a warning later in start_kernel() as interrupts are enabled
before they are fully set up.

Fix this issue by setting the PF_IDLE flag later in the boot sequence.

Although the boot task was marked as idle since (at least) d80e4fda576d,
I am not sure that it is wrong to do so.  The forced context-switch on
idle task was introduced in the tiny_rcu update, so I'm going to claim
this fixes 5f6130fa52.

Fixes: 5f6130fa52 ("tiny_rcu: Directly force QS when call_rcu_[bh|sched]() on idle_task")
