genirq: Provide a lockdep helper
Some irq chips need to call genirq functions for nested chips from their callbacks. That upsets lockdep. So they need to set a different lock class for those nested chips. Provide a helper function to avoid open access to irq_desc. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
