[PATCH 01/15] irq: mips: avoid nested irq_enter()

As bcm6345_l1_irq_handle() is a chained irqchip handler, it will be
invoked within the context of the root irqchip handler, which must have
entered IRQ context already.

When bcm6345_l1_irq_handle() calls arch/mips's do_IRQ() , this will nest
another call to irq_enter(), and the resulting nested increment to
`rcu_data.dynticks_nmi_nesting` will cause rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle()
to fail to identify wakeups from idle, resulting in failure to preempt,
and RCU stalls.

Chained irqchip handlers must invoke IRQ handlers by way of thee core
irqchip code, i.e. generic_handle_irq() or generic_handle_domain_irq()
and should not call do_IRQ(), which is intended only for root irqchip
handlers.

Fix bcm6345_l1_irq_handle() by calling generic_handle_irq() directly.
