[PATCHv2 4/5] irqchip/GICv3: let gic_handle_irq() utilize irqentry on arm64

The call to rcu_irq_enter() originated from gic_handle_irq() is
redundant now, since arm64 has enter_from_kernel_mode() akin to
irqenter_entry(), which has already called rcu_irq_enter().

Based on code analysis, the redundant can raise some mistake, e.g.
rcu_data->dynticks_nmi_nesting inc 2, which causes
rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle() unexpected.

So eliminate the call to irq_enter() in handle_domain_irq(). And
accordingly supplementing irq_enter_rcu().
