Maciej W. Rozycki 0ac4952731 PHYLIB: IRQ event workqueue handling fixes
Keep track of disable_irq_nosync() invocations and call enable_irq() the
right number of times if work has been cancelled that would include them.

Now that the call to flush_work_keventd() (problematic because of
rtnl_mutex being held) has been replaced by cancel_work_sync() another
issue has arisen and been left unresolved.  As the MDIO bus cannot be
accessed from the interrupt context the PHY interrupt handler uses
disable_irq_nosync() to prevent from looping and schedules some work to be
done as a softirq, which, apart from handling the state change of the
originating PHY, is responsible for reenabling the interrupt.  Now if the
interrupt line is shared by another device and a call to the softirq
handler has been cancelled, that call to enable_irq() never happens and the
other device cannot use its interrupt anymore as its stuck disabled.

I decided to use a counter rather than a flag because there may be more
than one call to phy_change() cancelled in the queue -- a real one and a
fake one triggered by free_irq() if DEBUG_SHIRQ is used, if nothing else.
Therefore because of its nesting property enable_irq() has to be called the
right number of times to match the number disable_irq_nosync() was called
and restore the original state.  This DEBUG_SHIRQ feature is also the
reason why free_irq() has to be called before cancel_work_sync().

While at it I updated the comment about phy_stop_interrupts() being called
from `keventd' -- this is no longer relevant as the use of
cancel_work_sync() makes such an approach unnecessary.  OTOH a similar
comment referring to flush_scheduled_work() in phy_stop() still applies as
using cancel_work_sync() there would be dangerous.

Checked with checkpatch.pl and at the run time (with and without
DEBUG_SHIRQ).
