Subject: [PATCH 1/3] genirq: Get rid of unneeded force parameter in
 irq_finalize_oneshot()

The only place irq_finalize_oneshot() is called with force parameter set
is the threaded handler error exit path. But IRQTF_RUNTHREAD is dropped
at this point and irq_wake_thread() is not going to reset it again,
since PF_EXITING is set for this thread already. So we will drop the
thread's bit in threads_oneshot anyway and the force parameter is
superfluous.

Also, the orded or checking PF_EXITING and IRQTF_RUNTHREAD flags in
irq_wake_thread() is important now, so escalate it more visibly in the
source code.
