irqchip/gicv3: Workaround for Cavium ThunderX erratum 23154



This patch implements Cavium ThunderX erratum 23154.

The gicv3 of ThunderX requires a modified version for reading the IAR
status to ensure data synchronization. Since this is in the fast-path
and called with each interrupt, runtime patching is used using jump
label patching for smallest overhead (no-op). This is the same
technique as used for tracepoints.
