genirq: Add IRQF_NO_AUTOEN for request_irq/nmi()
[ Upstream commit cbe16f35bee6880becca6f20d2ebf6b457148552 ]
Many drivers don't want interrupts enabled automatically via request_irq().
So they are handling this issue by either way of the below two:
(1)
irq_set_status_flags(irq, IRQ_NOAUTOEN);
request_irq(dev, irq...);
(2)
request_irq(dev, irq...);
disable_irq(irq);
The code in the second way is silly and unsafe. In the small time gap
between request_irq() and disable_irq(), interrupts can still come.
The code in the first way is safe though it's subobtimal.
Add a new IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag which can be handed in by drivers to
request_irq() and request_nmi(). It prevents the automatic enabling of the
requested interrupt/nmi in the same safe way as #1 above. With that the
various usage sites of #1 and #2 above can be simplified and corrected.
