genirq: Provide interrupt injection mechanism
Error injection mechanisms need a half ways safe way to inject interrupts as invoking generic_handle_irq() or the actual device interrupt handler directly from e.g. a debugfs write is not guaranteed to be safe. On x86 generic_handle_irq() is unsafe due to the hardware trainwreck which is the base of x86 interrupt delivery and affinity management. Move the irq debugfs injection code into a separate function which can be used by error injection code as well. The implementation prevents at least that state is corrupted, but it cannot close a very tiny race window on x86 which might result in a stale and not serviced device interrupt under very unlikely circumstances. This is explicitly for debugging and testing and not for production use or abuse in random driver code.
