genirq: Allow per-cpu interrupt sharing for non-overlapping affinities

Browse source

Interrupt sharing for percpu-devid interrupts is forbidden, and for good
reasons. These are interrupts generated *from* a CPU and handled by itself
(timer, for example). Nobody in their right mind would put two devices on
the same pin (and if they have, they get to keep the pieces...).

But this also prevents more benign cases, where devices are connected
to groups of CPUs, and for which the affinities are not overlapping.
Effectively, the only thing they share is the interrupt number, and
nothing else.

Tweak the definition of IRQF_SHARED applied to percpu_devid interrupts to
allow this particular use case. This results in extra validation at the
point of the interrupt being setup and freed, as well as a tiny bit of
extra complexity for interrupts at handling time (to pick the correct
irqaction).
