arm: mvebu: Fix the irq map function in SMP mode
This patch fix the regression introduced by the commit 3202bf0157ccb "arm: mvebu: Improve the SMP support of the interrupt controller": GPIO IRQ were no longer delivered to the CPUs. To be delivered to a CPU an interrupt must be enabled at CPU level and at interrupt source level. Before the offending patch, all the interrupts were enabled at source level during map() function. Mask() and unmask() was done by handling the per-CPU part. It was fine when running in UP with only one CPU. The offending patch added support for SMP, in this case mask() and unmask() was done by handling the interrupt source level part. The per-CPU level part was handled by the affinity API to select the CPU which will receive the interrupt. (Due to some hardware limitation only one CPU at a time can received a given interrupt). For "normal" interrupt __setup_irq() was called when an irq was registered. irq_set_affinity() is called from this function, which enabled the interrupt on one of the CPUs. Whereas for GPIO IRQ which were chained interrupts, the irq_set_affinity() was never called and none of the CPUs was selected to receive the interrupt. With this patch all the interrupt are enable on the current CPU during map() function. Enabling the interrupts on a CPU doesn't depend anymore on irq_set_affinity() and then the chained irq are not anymore a special case. However the CPU which will receive the irq can still be modify later using irq_set_affinity(). Tested with Mirabox (A370) and Openblocks AX3 (AXP), rootfs mounted over NFS, compiled with CONFIG_SMP=y/N.
