Subject: [PATCH] GIC: Assign correct flow handler type in set_type callback

There are some interrupts that are true edge triggered in nature. If not
marked IRQ_PENDING, when disabled, they will be lost.

Use the set_type callback to assign the correct flow type handler for
shared peripheral interrupts.

This came to light when a edge triggered interrupt was supposed to wakeup the
sytem. The flow handler was set to the default handle_level_irq. On the resume
path the flow handler was invoked right after the I bit was cleared but before
each individual interrupts were enabled. This made the handle_level_irq ignore
the interrupt (mask_ack it) and it was lost. handle_edge_irq does the right
thing by marking the interrupt as IRQ_PENDING and when the resume code gets to
enabling each interrupt this interrupt is resent again.
