Subject: ARCv2: intc: Fix random perf irq disabling in SMP setup

commit 8eb0984bf4fe82237f95481ff0afe514a676c717 upstream.

As part of fixing another perf issue, observed that after a perf run,
the interrupt got disabled on one/more cores.

Turns out that despite requesting perf irq as percpu, the flow handler
registered was not handle_percpu_irq()

Given that on ARCv2 cores, IRQs < 24 are always private to cpu, we
register the right handler at the very onset.

Before Fix

| [ARCLinux]# cat /proc/interrupts | grep perf
|  20:    0      0      0       0  ARCv2 core Intc  20 ARC perf counters

| Running with 10*40 (== 400) tasks.

After Fix
