[PATCH v2 1/2] irqchip/riscv-aplic: Use handle_edge_irq() for edge-triggered MSI sources

In MSI mode, all APLIC interrupts are handled by handle_fasteoi_irq().
For an edge-triggered source the APLIC forwards each edge as an MSI and
keeps no state after that, so an edge which the CPU side drops is lost.
After an affinity change, the next MSI can arrive on the new CPU while
the previous one is still being handled on the old CPU, and
handle_fasteoi_irq() then drops it.
The fasteoi flow also never calls irq_ack(), which is where IMSIC applies
an affinity change that was deferred while a previous vector move was in
flight. Such a change stays pending, and later affinity changes of the
interrupt only update the pending mask.
Use handle_edge_irq() for edge-triggered sources. It acknowledges the
interrupt before invoking the handler. If the interrupt is still in
progress on the previous target CPU, it either waits for it to complete
or marks it pending so that the handler runs again.
