It's possible for an interrupt returning to an irqs-disabled context to
lose a pending soft-masked irq because it branches to part of the exit
code for irqs-enabled contexts, which is meant to clear only the
PACA_IRQS_HARD_DIS flag from PACAIRQHAPPENED by zeroing the byte. This
just looks like a simple thinko from a recent commit (if there was no
hard mask pending, there would be no reason to clear it anyway).
This also adds comment to the code that actually does need to clear the
flag.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
