genirq: Delay deactivation in free_irq()
When interrupts are shutdown, they are immediately deactivated in the irqdomain hierarchy. While this looks obviously correct there is a subtle issue: There might be an interrupt in flight when free_irq() is invoking the shutdown. This is properly handled at the irq descriptor / primary handler level, but the deactivation might completely disable resources which are required to acknowledge the interrupt. Split the shutdown code and deactivate the interrupt after synchronization in free_irq(). Fixup all other usage sites where this is not an issue to invoke the combined shutdown_and_deactivate() function instead. This still might be an issue if the interrupt in flight servicing is delayed on a remote CPU beyond the invocation of synchronize_irq(), but that cannot be handled at that level and needs to be handled in the synchronize_irq() context.
