Subject: [PATCH V4] irq: Track the interrupt timings

The interrupt framework gives a lot of information about each interrupt.

It does not keep track of when those interrupts occur though.

This patch provides a mean to record the elapsed time between successive
interrupt occurrences in a per-IRQ per-CPU circular buffer to help with the
prediction of the next occurrence using a statistical model.

A new function is added to browse the different interrupts and retrieve the
timing information stored in it.

A static key is introduced so when the irq prediction is switched off at
runtime, we can reduce the overhead near to zero. The irq timings is
supposed to be potentially used by different sub-systems and for this reason
the static key is a ref counter, so when the last use releases the irq
timings that will result on the effective deactivation of the irq measurement.

---
V4:
  - Added a static key
  - Added more comments for irq_timings_get_next()
  - Unified some function names to be prefixed by 'irq_timings_...'
  - Fixed a rebase error
V3:
  - Replaced ktime_get() by local_clock()
  - Shared irq are not handled
  - Simplified code by adding the timing in the irqdesc struct
  - Added a function to browse the irq timings
V2:
  - Fixed kerneldoc comment
  - Removed data field from the struct irq timing
  - Changed the lock section comment
  - Removed semi-colon style with empty stub
  - Replaced macro by static inline
  - Fixed static functions declaration
