[PATCH v5 3/7] iommu/arm-smmu: Allow using a threaded handler for context interrupts

Threaded IRQ handlers run in a less critical context compared to normal
IRQs, so they can perform more complex and time-consuming operations
without causing significant delays in other parts of the kernel.
During a context fault, it might be needed to do more processing and
gather debug information from TBUs in the handler. These operations may
sleep, so add an option to use a threaded IRQ handler in these cases.
