[PATCH v16 8/9] irqchip/riscv-intc: Add empty irq_eoi() for chained irq handlers

[Anup Patel]

We add empty irq_eoi() in RISC-V INTC driver for child irqchip
drivers (such as PLIC, SBI IPI, CLINT, APLIC, IMSIC, etc) which
implement chained handlers for parent per-HART local interrupts.
This hels us avoid unnecessary mask/unmask of per-HART local
interrupts at the time of handling interrupts.
