[PATCH] irqchip: omap-intc: improve IRQ handler

as it turns out the current IRQ number will
*always* be available from SIR register which
renders the reads of PENDING registers as plain
unnecessary overhead.

In order to catch any situation where SIR reads
as zero, we're adding a WARN() to turn it into
a very verbose error and users actually report
it.

With this patch average running time of
omap_intc_handle_irq() reduced from about 28.5us
to 19.8us as measured by the kernel function
profiler.

Tested with BeagleBoneBlack Rev A5C.

Before applying, it would be very nice to get reports
from other folks on different platforms, specially OMAP2/3
ones which I don't have (easy) access.
