[PATCH v2 26/30] Documentation: gpio: mention generic_handle_irq_safe()

[Théo Lebrun]

generic_handle_irq() must be called from a no-IRQ context. Documentation
advices on using a fake raw lock to call generic_handle_irq() from any
context.

Since 509853f9e1e7 ("genirq: Provide generic_handle_irq_safe()"), a
better alternative is available.
