IRQCHIP: mips-gic: Don't nest calls to do_IRQ()

Browse source

The GIC chained handlers use do_IRQ() to call the subhandlers.  This
means that irq_enter() calls get nested, which leads to preempt count
looking like we're in nested interrupts, which in turn leads to all
system time being accounted as IRQ time in account_system_time().

Fix it by using generic_handle_irq().  Since these same functions are
used in some systems (if cpu_has_veic) from a low-level vectored
interrupt handler which does not go throught do_IRQ(), we need to do it
conditionally.
