genirq: Retain disable depth for managed interrupts across CPU hotplug

Browse source 
Affinity-managed interrupts can be shut down and restarted during CPU
hotunplug/plug. Thereby the interrupt may be left in an unexpected state.
Specifically:

 1. Interrupt is affine to CPU N
 2. disable_irq() -> depth is 1
 3. CPU N goes offline
 4. irq_shutdown() -> depth is set to 1 (again)
 5. CPU N goes online
 6. irq_startup() -> depth is set to 0 (BUG! driver expects that the interrupt
    		     	      	        still disabled)
 7. enable_irq() -> depth underflow / unbalanced enable_irq() warning

This is only a problem for managed interrupts and CPU hotplug, all other
cases like request()/free()/request() truly needs to reset a possibly stale
disable depth value.

Provide a startup function, which takes the disable depth into account, and
invoked it for the managed interrupts in the CPU hotplug path.

This requires to change irq_shutdown() to do a depth increment instead of
setting it to 1, which allows to retain the disable depth, but is harmless
for the other code paths using irq_startup(), which will still reset the
disable depth unconditionally to keep the original correct behaviour.

A kunit tests will be added separately to cover some of these aspects.
