Linus Torvalds 6863c8385c Updates for the interrupt core and treewide cleanups:
- Rework of the Per Processor Interrupt (PPI) management on ARM[64].
 
     PPI support was built under the assumption that the systems are
     homogenous so that the same CPU local device types are connected to
     them. That's unfortunately wishful thinking and created horrible
     workarounds.
 
     This rework provides affinity management for PPIs so that they can be
     individually configured in the firmware tables and mops up the related
     drivers all over the place.
 
   - Prevent CPUSET/isolation changes to arbitrarily affine interrupt
     threads to random CPUs, which ignores user or driver settings.
 
   - Plug a harmless race in the interrupt affinity proc interface, which
     allows to see a half updated mask
 
   - Adjust the priority of secondary interrupt threads on RT, so that the
     combination of primary and secondary thread emulates the hardware
     interrupt plus thread scenario. Having them at the same priority can
     cause starvation issues in some drivers.
