[PATCH] rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix WARNING when calling local_irq_restore() with interrupts enabled

From: Larry Finger <hidden>
Date: 2021-12-15 17:11:39

Syzbot reports the following WARNING:

[200~raw_local_irq_restore() called with IRQs enabled
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1206 at kernel/locking/irqflag-debug.c:10
   warn_bogus_irq_restore+0x1d/0x20 kernel/locking/irqflag-debug.c:10

Hardware initialization for the rtl8188cu can run for as long as 350 ms,
and the routine may be called with interrupts disabled. To avoid locking
the machine for this long, the current routine saves the interrupt flags
and enables local interrupts. The problem is that it restores the flags
at the end without disabling local interrupts first.

This patch fixes commit a53268be0cb9 ("rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix too long
disable of IRQs").
