[PATCH 1/3] genirq: Allow the irqchip state of an IRQ to be save/restored

There is a number of cases where a kernel subsystem may want to
introspect the state of an interrupt at the irqchip level:

- When a peripheral is shared between virtual machines, its interrupt
  state becomes part of the guest's state, and must be switched accordingly.
  KVM on arm/arm64 requires this for its guest-visible timer
- Some GPIO controllers seem to require peeking into the interrupt controller
  they are connected to to report their internal state

This seem to be a pattern that is common enough for the core code to try and
support this without too many horrible hacks. Introduce a pair of accessors
(irq_get_irqchip_state/irq_set_irqchip_state) to retrieve the bits that can
be of interest to another subsystem: pending, active, and masked.

- irq_get_irqchip_state returns the state of the interrupt according to a
  state parameter set to IRQCHIP_STATE_PENDING, IRQCHIP_STATE_ACTIVE
  or IRQCHIP_STATE_MASKED.
- irq_set_irqchip_state sets the state of the interrupt according to
  a similar state.
