[PATCH v8 9/4] arm64: remove irq_count and do_softirq_own_stack()

sysrq_handle_reboot() re-enables interrupts while on the irq stack. The
irq_stack implementation wrongly assumed this would only ever happen
via the softirq path, allowing it to update irq_count late, in
do_softirq_own_stack().

This means if an irq occurs in sysrq_handle_reboot(), during
emergency_restart() the stack will be corrupted, as irq_count wasn't
updated.

Lose the optimisation, and instead of moving the adding/subtracting of
irq_count into irq_stack_entry/irq_stack_exit, remove it, and compare
sp_el0 (struct task_info) with sp & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1). This tells us if
we are on a task stack, if so, we can safely switch to the irq stack.
Finally, remove do_softirq_own_stack(), we don't need it anymore.
