In MSI mode the APLIC handles all sources with handle_fasteoi_irq().
For edge-triggered sources this loses an interrupt which arrives on
the new CPU while the previous one is still being handled after an
affinity change. The fasteoi flow also never calls irq_ack(), where
IMSIC applies an affinity change 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 and
handle_fasteoi_ack_irq() for level-triggered sources.
---
Changes in v2:
- Use handle_edge_irq() for edge-triggered sources instead of calling
the parent ack from the EOI callback
- Use handle_fasteoi_ack_irq() for level-triggered sources
- Split into two patches

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.

IMSIC rejects an affinity change with -EBUSY while a previous vector
move is still in flight, and the IRQ core then records the new mask as
pending. The change is applied by irq_move_irq() in the IMSIC irq_ack
callback, but level-triggered APLIC MSI interrupts are handled by
handle_fasteoi_irq(), which never calls irq_ack.
The pending change is therefore never applied. While it is pending,
later affinity changes only update the pending mask, so the interrupt
stays on its old CPU.
Use handle_fasteoi_ack_irq() for level-triggered sources. It acks the
interrupt before invoking the handler, so a pending affinity change is
applied on the next interrupt, and the EOI retrigger then targets the
new CPU.
