Subject: x86: irq: Duplicate interrupt name THR

Hello.

The interrupt name "THR" used twice for x86 architecture.
It is used for "Threshold APIC interrupts" and
"Hypervisor callback interrupts".

I don't know if duplicates are a valid for /proc/interrupt table,
but this could lead to problems with user space applications,
as they have to parse not only interrupt name, but a description too.

The duplicate was introduced by commit 929320e4b4c10708d3477d7e395f0ce7b0cc8744
