IMO, this can't work. Because el1_interrupt() will invoke
arm64_preempt_schedule_irq(), which will cause scheduling on the
IRQ stack.

Ah, too bad. I spent some more time looking for a simpler approach,
but couldn't find one I'm happy with. One idea might be to have
callback functions for each combinations of irq/fiq with irq/pnmi
to avoid the nested callback pointers. Not sure if that helps.

Maybe nested callback pointers are not always a wild beast. ;)
This method does not change much, and we can also conveniently stuff
all kinds of things in do_handler() that we want to run on the IRQ
stack in addition to the handler().
