[PATCH v5 1/2] genirq: add IRQF_NO_AUTOEN for request_irq

[Barry Song]

Many drivers don't want interrupts enabled automatically due to
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 we might be able to do it
in the generic irq code.

With this patch, drivers can request_irq with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag.
They will need neither irq_set_status_flags() nor disable_irq().

In the meantime, drivers using the below pattern for NMI
irq_set_status_flags(irq, IRQ_NOAUTOEN);
request_nmi(dev, irq...);

can also move to request_nmi() with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag.
