__do_IRQ does not check IRQ_DISABLED when IRQ_PER_CPU is set

In __do_IRQ(), the normal case is that IRQ_DISABLED is checked and if set
the handler (handle_IRQ_event()) is not called.

Earlier in __do_IRQ(), if IRQ_PER_CPU is set the code does not check
IRQ_DISABLED and calls the handler even though IRQ_DISABLED is set.  This
behavior seems unintentional.

One user encountering this behavior is the CPE handler (in
arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c).  When the CPE handler encounters too many CPEs
(such as a solid single bit error), it sets up a polling timer and disables
the CPE interrupt (to avoid excessive overhead logging the stream of single
bit errors).  disable_irq_nosync() is called which sets IRQ_DISABLED.  The
IRQ_PER_CPU flag was previously set (in ia64_mca_late_init()).  The net
result is the CPE handler gets called even though it is marked disabled.

If the behavior of not checking IRQ_DISABLED when IRQ_PER_CPU is set is
intentional, it would be worthy of a comment describing the intended
behavior.  disable_irq_nosync() does call chip->disable() to provide a
chipset specifiec interface for disabling the interrupt, which avoids this
issue when used.
