genirq: Add oneshot support
For threaded interrupt handlers we expect the hard interrupt handler part to mask the interrupt on the originating device. The interrupt line itself is reenabled after the hard interrupt handler has executed. This requires access to the originating device from hard interrupt context which is not always possible. There are devices which can only be accessed via a bus (i2c, spi, ...). The bus access requires thread context. For such devices we need to keep the interrupt line masked until the threaded handler has executed. Add a new flag IRQF_ONESHOT which allows drivers to request that the interrupt is not unmasked after the hard interrupt context handler has been executed and the thread has been woken. The interrupt line is unmasked after the thread handler function has been executed. Note that for now IRQF_ONESHOT cannot be used with IRQF_SHARED to avoid complex accounting mechanisms. For oneshot interrupts the primary handler simply returns IRQ_WAKE_THREAD and does nothing else. A generic implementation irq_default_primary_handler() is provided to avoid useless copies all over the place. It is automatically installed when request_threaded_irq() is called with handler=NULL and thread_fn!=NULL.
