If we ever get a value >= 31 from ffz(), we'd be invoking UB; in the >
31 case, probably assigning the same thread_mask to to multiple
irqactions (at least on x86_64, where the shift count is implicitly
truncated to 5 bits).
In practice, I think the bug is mostly harmless, since when we first
get ffz == 31, the RHS is - ignoring UB - (int)(0x80000000), and
sign-extension means that the 32nd irqaction just ends up eating the
top 33 bits of thread_mask, so all subsequent __setup_irq calls would
just end up hitting the -EBUSY branch. (AFAICT, no code seems to rely
on ->thread_mask being a single bit; it's all whole-sale |= and &=).
However, a sufficiently aggressive optimizer may use the UB of 1<<31
to decide that doesn't happen, and hence elide the sign-extension
code, so that subsequent calls can indeed get ffz > 31. In any case,
this is the right thing to do.

genirq: Fix type of shifting literal 1 in __setup_irq()
If ffz() ever returns a value >= 31 then the following shift is undefined
behaviour because the literal 1 which gets shifted is treated as signed
integer.
In practice, the bug is probably harmless, since the first undefined shift
count is 31 which results - ignoring UB - in (int)(0x80000000). This gets
sign extended so bit 32-63 will be set as well and all subsequent
__setup_irq() calls would just end up hitting the -EBUSY branch.
However, a sufficiently aggressive optimizer may use the UB of 1<<31
to decide that doesn't happen, and hence elide the sign-extension
code, so that subsequent calls can indeed get ffz > 31.
In any case, the right thing to do is to make the literal 1UL.
[ tglx: For this to happen a single interrupt would have to be shared by 32
devices. Hardware like that does not exist and would have way more
problems than that. ]
