Subject: [PATCH] PCI/LINK: Request a one-shot IRQ with NULL handler

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

Booting v5.1-rc1 causes these new messages in dmesg here:

  genirq: Threaded irq requested with handler=NULL and !ONESHOT for irq 24
  pcie_bw_notification: probe of 0000:00:02.0:pcie010 failed with error -22

because requesting a threaded IRQ with NULL handler needs to be oneshot.
Otherwise a level-triggered interrupt endless loop can happen, see the
detailed explanation above the "Threaded irq... " error message in
kernel/irq/manage.c.

And PCI-MSI type interrupts are one-shot safe but not in the IOAPIC
case:

  24: ... IO-APIC   28-fasteoi   PCIe BW notif, PCIe BW notif, PCIe BW notif
  25: ... IO-APIC   29-fasteoi   PCIe BW notif, PCIe BW notif

Make the BW notification handler oneshot too.

Fixes: e8303bb7a75c ("PCI/LINK: Report degraded links via link bandwidth notification")
