lib: update DEBUG_SHIRQ docs to match reality
There is no extra interrupt when registering a shared interrupt handler since 2011. Update the Kconfig text to make it clear and to avoid wrong assumptions when debugging issues found by it. Fixes: 6d83f94db95c ("genirq: Disable the SHIRQ_DEBUG call in request_threaded_irq for now") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/859e8211-2c56-8dd5-d6fb-33e4358e4128@pengutronix.de/T/#mf24d7070d7e0c8f17b6be6ceb51df94b7d7613b3 Reviewed-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org> Acked-by: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200702222024.6915-1-wsa+renesas@sang-engineering.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

- Enable this to generate a spurious interrupt as soon as a shared
- interrupt handler is registered, and just before one is deregistered.
- Drivers ought to be able to handle interrupts coming in at those
- points; some don't and need to be caught.
+ Enable this to generate a spurious interrupt just before a shared
+ interrupt handler is deregistered (generating one when registering
