[PATCH] powerpc/mpic: supply a .disable callback

Currently MPIC provides .mask, but not .disable.  This means that
effectively disable_irq() soft-disables the interrupt, and you get
a .mask call if an interrupt actually occurs.

I'm not sure if this was intended as a performance benefit (it seems common
to omit .disable on powerpc interrupt controllers, but nowhere else), but it
interacts badly with threaded/workqueue interrupts (including KVM
reflection).  In such cases, where the real interrupt handler does a
disable_irq_nosync(), schedules defered handling, and returns, we get two
interrupts for every real interrupt.  The second interrupt does nothing
but see that IRQ_DISABLED is set, and decide that it would be a good
idea to actually call .mask.
