genirq: Allow to pass the IRQF_TIMER flag with percpu irq request

The irq timings infrastructure tracks when interrupts occur in order to
statistically predict te next interrupt event.

There is no point to track timer interrupts and try to predict them because
the next expiration time is already known. This can be avoided via the
IRQF_TIMER flag which is passed by timer drivers in request_irq(). It marks
the interrupt as timer based which alloes to ignore these interrupts in the
timings code.

Per CPU interrupts which are requested via request_percpu_+irq() have no
flag argument, so marking per cpu timer interrupts is not possible and they
get tracked pointlessly.

Add __request_percpu_irq() as a variant of request_percpu_irq() with a
flags argument and make request_percpu_irq() an inline wrapper passing
flags = 0.

The flag parameter is restricted to IRQF_TIMER as all other IRQF_ flags
make no sense for per cpu interrupts.

The next step is to convert all existing users of request_percpu_irq() and
then remove the wrapper and the underscores.
