genirq: Support nested threaded irq handling
Interrupt chips which are behind a slow bus (i2c, spi ...) and demultiplex other interrupt sources need to run their interrupt handler in a thread. The demultiplexed interrupt handlers need to run in thread context as well and need to finish before the demux handler thread can reenable the interrupt line. So the easiest way is to run the sub device handlers in the context of the demultiplexing handler thread. To avoid that a separate thread is created for the subdevices the function set_nested_irq_thread() is provided which sets the IRQ_NESTED_THREAD flag in the interrupt descriptor. A driver which calls request_threaded_irq() must not be aware of the fact that the threaded handler is called in the context of the demultiplexing handler thread. The setup code checks the IRQ_NESTED_THREAD flag which was set from the irq chip setup code and does not setup a separate thread for the interrupt. The primary function which is provided by the device driver is replaced by an internal dummy function which warns when it is called. For the demultiplexing handler a helper function handle_nested_irq() is provided which calls the demux interrupt thread function in the context of the caller and does the proper interrupt accounting and takes the interrupt disabled status of the demultiplexed subdevice into account.
