ACPI: scan: Add a weak arch_sort_irqchip_probe() to order the IRQCHIP probe

Browse source

Unlike OF framework, the irqchip probe using IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE has no
order defined. Depending on the Makefile is not a good idea. So,
usually it is worked around by mandating only root interrupt controller
probed using IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE and other interrupt controllers are
probed via cascade mechanism.

However, this is also not a clean solution because if there are multiple
root controllers (ex: RINTC in RISC-V which is per CPU) which need to be
probed first, then the cascade will happen for every root controller.
So, introduce an architecture specific weak function
arch_sort_irqchip_probe() to order the probing of the interrupt
controllers which can be implemented by different architectures as per
their interrupt controller hierarchy.
