irqchip/jcore: Fix lost per-cpu interrupts

The J-Core AIC does not have separate interrupt numbers reserved for
cpu-local vs global interrupts. Instead, the driver requesting the irq
is expected to know whether its device uses per-cpu interrupts or not.
Previously it was assumed that handle_simple_irq could work for both
cases, but it intentionally drops interrupts for an irq number that
already has a handler running. This resulted in the timer interrupt
for one cpu being lost when multiple cpus' timers were set for
approximately the same expiration time, leading to stalls. In theory
the same could also happen with IPIs.

To solve the problem, instead of registering handle_simple_irq as the
handler, register a wrapper function which checks whether the irq to
be handled was requested as per-cpu or not, and passes it to
handle_simple_irq or handle_percpu_irq accordingly.
