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.
