Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/sifive-plic: Unmask interrupt in plic_irq_enable()

It is possible that an interrupt is disabled and masked at the same time.
When the interrupt is enabled again by enable_irq(), only plic_irq_enable()
is called, not plic_irq_unmask(). The interrupt remains masked and never
raises.

An example where interrupt is both disabled and masked is when
handle_fasteoi_irq() is the handler, and IRQS_ONESHOT is set. The interrupt
handler:
  1. Mask the interrupt
  2. Handle the interrupt
  3. Check if interrupt is still enabled, and unmask it (see
     cond_unmask_eoi_irq())

If another task disables the interrupt in the middle of the above steps,
the interrupt will not get unmasked, and will remain masked when it is
enabled in the future.

The problem is occasionally observed when PREEMPT_RT is enabled, because
PREEMPT_RT add the IRQS_ONESHOT flag. But PREEMPT_RT only makes the
problem more likely to appear, the bug has been around since
commit a1706a1c5062 ("irqchip/sifive-plic: Separate the enable and mask
operations").

Fix it by unmasking interrupt in plic_irq_enable().

Fixes: a1706a1c5062 ("irqchip/sifive-plic: Separate the enable and mask operations").
