Subject[PATCH] genirq: Fix nested thread vs synchronize_hardirq() deadlock
There is a possibility of deadlock if synchronize_hardirq() is called
when the nested threaded interrupt is active. The following scenario
was observed on a uniprocessor PREEMPT_NONE system:

Thread 1 Thread 2

handle_nested_thread()
Set INPROGRESS
Call ->thread_fn()
thread_fn goes to sleep

free_irq()
__synchronize_hardirq()
Busy-loop forever waiting for INPROGRESS
to be cleared

Since the purpose of the INPROGRESS flag seems to be for hard IRQ
handlers, remove its usage in the nested threaded interrupt case and
instead re-use the active_threads mechanism to wait for nested threaded
interrupts to complete.
