[RFC] irqchip: gic: always mask interrupts during suspend

The core kernel IRQ code will disable all non-wakeup interrupts before
suspend, but because the GIC uses lazy masking (i.e., it doesn't mask
interrupts, but only disables them logically), we still might be
processing interrupts after the last call for interrupts
(check_wakeup_irqs()). This can cause various problems, so let's just
always mask our interrupts before suspend.

Several platforms already tweak the GIC irqchip flags to do this (and
I'm working on bringing up another platform that needs this), so let's
just set IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND by default.

This is just an RFC. If it is acceptable, I'll need to break it up for
application to each sub-arch tree.

I really don't like the gic_arch_extn approach to customizing the GIC driver,
so I thought this was one opportunity to unify some platform code. If this
approach isn't accpetable, I can simply add this flag to my own machine init
code. But I thought this was a good starting place for discussion about this
odd piece of code.

Other random thought: it seems like any irqchip driver which does lazy IRQ
masking ought to use IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND. So maybe the IRQ core should just
do something like:

	if (!chip->irq_disable)
		chip->flags |= IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND;
