genirq: Allow fasteoi handler to resend interrupts on concurrent handling

There is a class of interrupt controllers out there that, once they
have signalled a given interrupt number, will still signal incoming
instances of the *same* interrupt despite the original interrupt
not having been EOIed yet.

As long as the new interrupt reaches the *same* CPU, nothing bad
happens, as that CPU still has its interrupts globally disabled,
and we will only take the new interrupt once the interrupt has
been EOIed.

However, things become more "interesting" if an affinity change comes
in while the interrupt is being handled. More specifically, while
the per-irq lock is being dropped. This results in the affinity change
taking place immediately. At this point, there is nothing that prevents
the interrupt from firing on the new target CPU. We end-up with the
interrupt running concurrently on two CPUs, which isn't a good thing.

And that's where things become worse: the new CPU notices that the
interrupt handling is in progress (irq_may_run() return false), and
*drops the interrupt on the floor*.

The whole race looks like this:

           CPU 0             |          CPU 1
-----------------------------|-----------------------------
interrupt start              |
  handle_fasteoi_irq         | set_affinity(CPU 1)
    handler                  |
    ...                      | interrupt start
    ...                      |   handle_fasteoi_irq -> early out
  handle_fasteoi_irq return  | interrupt end
interrupt end                |

If the interrupt was an edge, too bad. The interrupt is lost, and
the system will eventually die one way or another. Not great.

A way to avoid this situation is to detect this problem at the point
we handle the interrupt on the new target. Instead of dropping the
interrupt, use the resend mechanism to force it to be replayed.

Also, in order to limit the impact of this workaround to the pathetic
architectures that require it, gate it behind a new irq flag aptly
named IRQD_RESEND_WHEN_IN_PROGRESS.
