PM: sleep: wakeirq: harden dev_pm_clear_wake_irq() against races
dev_pm_clear_wake_irq() currently uses a dangerous pattern where
dev->power.wakeirq is read and checked for NULL outside the lock.
If two callers invoke this function concurrently, both might see
a valid pointer and proceed. This could result in a double-free
when the second caller acquires the lock and tries to release the
same object.
Address this by removing the lockless check of dev->power.wakeirq.
Instead, acquire dev->power.lock immediately to ensure the check and
the subsequent operations are atomic. If dev->power.wakeirq is NULL
under the lock, simply unlock and return. This guarantees that
concurrent calls cannot race to free the same object.
Based on a quick scan of current users, I did not find an actual bug as
drivers seem to rely on their own synchronization. However, since
asynchronous usage patterns exist (e.g., in
drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore), I believe a race is theoretically
possible if the API is used less carefully in the future. This change
hardens the API to be robust against such cases.
