Subject: [PATCH v2] GIC: Dont disable INT in ack callback

From: Abhijeet Dharmapurikar <adharmap@...eaurora.org>

Unless gic_ack_irq is called from __do_IRQ, interrupt should not
be disabled in the ack function.

- * unmask it, in the same way we need to unmask an interrupt when

- * The GIC has a separate notion of "end of interrupt" to re-enable
- * an interrupt after handling, in order to support hardware

- * We can make the GIC behave in the way that Linux expects by making
