genirq: Add interrupt redirection infrastructure
Add infrastructure to redirect interrupt handler execution to a different CPU when the current CPU is not part of the interrupt's CPU affinity mask. This is primarily aimed at (de)multiplexed interrupts, where the child interrupt handler runs in the context of the parent interrupt handler, and therefore CPU affinity control for the child interrupt is typically not available. With the new infrastructure, the child interrupt is allowed to freely change its affinity setting, independently of the parent. If the interrupt handler happens to be triggered on an "incompatible" CPU (a CPU that's not part of the child interrupt's affinity mask), the handler is redirected and runs in IRQ work context on a "compatible" CPU. No functional change is being made to any existing irqchip driver, and irqchip drivers must be explicitly modified to use the newly added infrastructure to support interrupt redirection.
