Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: Enable IRQ if do_ale() triggered in irq-enabled context

Unaligned access exception can be triggered in irq-enabled context such
as user mode, in this case do_ale() may call get_user() which may cause
sleep. Then we will get:
