Subject: [PATCH] genirq: add IRQF_NO_AUTOEN for request_irq

This patch originated from the discussion with Dmitry in the below thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20210102042902.41664-1-song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com/
there are many drivers which don't want interrupts enabled automatically
due to request_irq().
So they are handling this issue by either way of the below two:
(1)
irq_set_status_flags(irq, IRQ_NOAUTOEN);
request_irq(dev, irq...);
(2)
request_irq(dev, irq...);
disable_irq(irq);

The code in the second way is silly and unsafe. In the small time gap
between request_irq and disable_irq, interrupts can still come.
The code in the first way is safe though we might be able to do it in
the generic irq code.

I guess Dmitry also prefers genirq handles this as he said
"What I would like to see is to allow passing something like IRQF_DISABLED
to request_irq() so that we would not need neither irq_set_status_flags()
nor disable_irq()" in the original email thread.

If this one is accepted, hundreds of drivers with this problem will be
handled afterwards.
