[PATCH kernel v3] powerpc/xive: Drop deregistered irqs

There is a race between releasing an irq on one cpu and fetching it
from XIVE on another cpu as there does not seem to be any locking between
these, probably because xive_irq_chip::irq_shutdown() is supposed to
remove the irq from all queues in the system which it does not do.

As a result, when such released irq appears in a queue, we take it
from the queue but we do not change the current priority on that cpu and
since there is no handler for the irq, EOI is never called and the cpu
current priority remains elevated (7 vs. 0xff==unmasked). If another irq
is assigned to the same cpu, then that device stops working until irq
is moved to another cpu or the device is reset.

This adds a new ppc_md.orphan_irq callback which is called if no irq
descriptor is found. The XIVE implementation drops the current priority
to 0xff which effectively unmasks interrupts in a current CPU.
