genirq: Do not mask oneshot edge type interrupts



Masking oneshot edge type interrupts is wrong as we might lose an
interrupt which is issued when the threaded handler is handling the
device. We can keep the irq unmasked safely as with edge type
interrupts there is no danger of interrupt floods. If the threaded
handler has not yet finished then IRQTF_RUNTHREAD is set which will
keep the handler thread active.

Debugged and verified in preempt-rt.
