genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken
When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever. This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the interrupt line s kept masked. Handle it gracefully.
