[RFC PATCH v4 04/20] ACPI: scan.c: Add weak arch specific function to reorder the IRQCHIP probe

Unlike OF framework, the irqchip probe using IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE has no
order defined. Depending on the driver Makefile is not a good idea. So,
usually it is worked around by mandating only root interrupt controller
probed using IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE and other interrupt controllers are
probed via cascade mechanism.

However, this is also not a clean solution because if there are multiple
root controllers (ex: RINTC in RISC-V which is per CPU) which need to be
probed first, then the cascade will happen for every root controller.
So, introduce a architecture specific weak function to order the probing
of the interrupt controllers which can be implemented by different
architectures as per their interrupt controller hierarchy.
