[PATCH] irq: add a new function irq_in_progress to check pending IRQ handlers

[shuox . liu]

From: Zhang Yanmin <yanmin.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>

synchronize_irq waits pending IRQ handlers to be finished. If using this
function while holding a resource, the IRQ handler may cause deadlock.

Here we add a new function irq_in_progress which doesn't wait for the handlers
to be finished.

A typical use case at suspend-to-ram:

device driver's irq handler is complicated and might hold a mutex at rare cases.
Its suspend function is called and a suspended flag is set.
In case its IRQ handler is running, suspend function calls irq_in_progress. if
handler is running, abort suspend.
The irq handler checks the suspended flag. If the device is suspended, irq handler
either ignores the interrupt, or wakes up the whole system, and the driver's
resume function could deal with the delayed interrupt handling.
