[RFC PATCH v2 01/10] genirq: Add chip flag to denote automatic IRQ (un)masking

[Valentin Schneider]

Some IRQ chips such as the Arm GICs automagically mask / unmask an
IRQ during the handling of said IRQ. This renders further mask / unmask
operations within the flow handlers redundant, which we do want to leverage
as masking by itself is not cheap (Distributor access via MMIO for GICs).

This is different from having a chip->irq_mask_ack() callback as this
masking is:
- inherent to the chip->irq_ack() and *cannot* be omitted
- a *different* masking state than chip->irq_mask() (chip->irq_mask() is
  idempotent, chip->irq_ack() really isn't)

Add a chip flag, IRQCHIP_AUTOMASKS_FLOW, to denote chips with such
behaviour. Add a new IRQ data flag, IRQD_IRQ_FLOW_MASKED, to keep this
flow-induced mask state separate from regular mask / unmask operations
(IRQD_IRQ_MASKED).
