genirq: Introduce request_any_context_irq() 



Now that we enjoy threaded interrupts, we're starting to see irq_chip
implementations (wm831x, pca953x) that make use of threaded interrupts
for the controller, and nested interrupts for the client interrupt. It
all works very well, with one drawback:

Drivers requesting an IRQ must now know whether the handler will
run in a thread context or not, and call request_threaded_irq() or
request_irq() accordingly.

The problem is that the requesting driver sometimes doesn't know
about the nature of the interrupt, specially when the interrupt
controller is a discrete chip (typically a GPIO expander connected
over I2C) that can be connected to a wide variety of otherwise perfectly
supported hardware.

This patch introduces the request_any_context_irq() function that mostly
mimics the usual request_irq(), except that it checks whether the irq
level is configured as nested or not, and calls the right backend.
On success, it also returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED.

[ tglx: Made return value an enum, simplified code and made the export
  	of request_any_context_irq GPL ]
