[PATCH 1/5] irqchip/riscv-intc: Balance priority and fairness during irq handling

Both csr cause and csr topi record the pending bit with the highest
priority. If interrupts with high priority arrive frequently within a
certain period of time, the interrupts with low priority won't get a
chance to be handled.

For example, if external interrupts and software interrupts arrive very
frequently, the timer interrupts will never be handled. Then buddy
watchdog on a buddy CPU will report a hardlockup on the current CPU while
current CPU actually can receive irq.

This commit solves this problem by handling all pending irqs in a round.
During each round, this commit handles pending irqs by their priority.
