Subject: genirq: Add a set_irq_handler_locked() function

Thomas, as discussed previously over IRC and private email.  Please
apply.

At present set_irq_handler() and all the existing variants take the
desc->lock for the irq in question before adjusting the irq's flow
handler.  This can cause problems for irq chips for which a given
interrupt can be either level or edge depending on what's attached.
The chip->set_type() callback, which is used to switch the interrupt
type in this case may need to alter the flow handler - but it is
called with the desc->lock already held, so it cannot safely call
set_irq_handler().

This patch pulls the core logic out of set_irq_handler() into a new
set_irq_handler_locked() which assumes the desc->lock is already held.
It can safely be used from the chip->set_type() callback.
