[RFC PATCH 1/3] genirq: Add disable_irq_nowait()

From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>
Drivers that switch between interrupt and polled completions don't need
to wait for the mask to reach the device; the disabled state already
keeps their handler from running and a late interrupt is replayed on
enable. Add an optional irq_chip irq_mask_nowait() callback, falling
back to irq_mask(), and disable_irq_nowait() to mask through it right
away rather than lazily.
