Subject: [PATCH] genirq/debugfs: add new config option for trigger interrupt
 from userspace

commit 536e2e34bd00 ("genirq/debugfs: Triggering of interrupts from
userspace") is allowed developer inject interrupts via irq debugfs, which
is very useful during development phase, but on a production system, this
is very dangerous, add new config option, developers can enable it as
needed instead of enabling it by default when irq debugfs is enabled.
