    irq: Remove IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET workaround · 4d4c4e24

    The IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET trick was used to make sure the irq
    doesn't get preempted after we substract the HARDIRQ_OFFSET
    until we are entirely done with any code in irq_exit().
    
    This workaround was necessary because some archs may call
    irq_exit() with irqs enabled and there is still some code
    in the end of this function that is not covered by the
    HARDIRQ_OFFSET but want to stay non-preemptible.
    
    Now that irq are always disabled in irq_exit(), the whole code
    is guaranteed not to be preempted. We can thus remove this hack.
