irqchip: gic: Fix unsafe locking reported by lockdep
When compiled with CONFIG_LOCKDEP, the kernel shouts badly, saying that the locking in the GIC code is unsafe. I'm afraid the kernel is right: CPU0 ---- lock(irq_controller_lock); <Interrupt> lock(irq_controller_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** This can happen while enabling, disabling, setting the type or the affinity of an interrupt. The fix is to take the interrupt_controller_lock with interrupts disabled in these cases.
