Serious oversight in commit 16e1b7a1b7f7ffd8a18713e83c8cd72c9ce48e07: we should not allow an interrupt to take control away from mainline code except when ImmediateInterruptOK is set. Just to be safe, let's adopt the same save-clear-restore dance that's been used for many years in HandleCatchupInterrupt and HandleNotifyInterrupt, so that nothing bad happens if a timeout handler invokes code that tests or even manipulates ImmediateInterruptOK. Per report of "stuck spinlock" failures from Christophe Pettus, though many other symptoms are possible. Diagnosis by Andres Freund.
