irq: Ensure irq_exit() code runs with interrupts disabled

We had already a few problems with code called from irq_exit() when
interrupted from a nesting interrupt. This can happen on architectures
which do not define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED.

__ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED should go away and we want to make it
mandatory to call irq_exit() with interrupts disabled.

As a temporary protection disable interrupts for those architectures
which do not define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED and add a WARN_ONCE
when an architecture which defines __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED calls
irq_exit() with interrupts enabled.
