Subject: [PATCH v2] genirq: bug on inconstent flags and flow handler

It is currently possible for a generic irq chip driver to set IRQ_LEVEL
and have its irq flow handler be handle_edge_irq. Setting IRQ_LEVEL in
such a case does not make sense, and will actually prevent e.g: the
software resend logic from kicking, and potential other problems too.

Changes in v2:
- replaced WARN_ON() with BUG_ON() since we really don't want to continue
  as suggested by Jason Cooper
