[PATCH] arm64: kernel: Use a separate stack for irq interrupts.

Having to handle interrupts on top of an existing kernel stack means the
kernel stack must be large enough to accomodate both the maximum kernel
usage, and the maximum irq handler usage. Switching to a different stack
when processing irqs allows us to make the stack size smaller.
Maximum kernel stack usage (running ltp and generating usb+ethernet
interrupts) was 7256 bytes. With this patch, the same workload gives
a maximum stack usage of 5816 bytes.
