There are two IRQ stacks: softirq_ctx and hardirq_ctx
do_softirq_own_stack() switches stack to softirq_ctx
do_IRQ() switches stack to hardirq_ctx
However, when soft and hard IRQs are nested, only one of the two
stacks is used:
- When on softirq stack, do_IRQ() doesn't switch to hardirq stack.
- irq_exit() runs softirqs on hardirq stack.
There is no added value in having two IRQ stacks as only one is
used when hard and soft irqs are nested. Remove softirq_ctx and
use hardirq_ctx for both hard and soft IRQs.
