The IRQ domain structures are currently protected by the global
irq_domain_mutex. Switch to using more fine-grained per-domain locking,
which can speed up parallel probing by reducing lock contention.

On a recent arm64 laptop, the total time spent waiting for the locks
during boot drops from 160 to 40 ms on average, while the maximum
aggregate wait time drops from 550 to 90 ms over ten runs for example.

Note that the domain lock of the root domain (innermost domain) must be
used for hierarchical domains. For non-hierarchical domains (as for root
domains), the new root pointer is set to the domain itself so that
&domain->root->mutex always points to the right lock.

Also note that hierarchical domains should be constructed using
irq_domain_create_hierarchy() (or irq_domain_add_hierarchy()) to avoid
having racing allocations access a not fully initialised domain. As a
safeguard, the lockdep assertion in irq_domain_set_mapping() will catch
any offenders that also fail to set the root domain pointer.

Broke Xen.

Fixed with commit ad32ab9604f2.
