irqchip/irq-brcmstb-l2: Add write memory barrier before exit
It was observed on Broadcom devices that use GIC v3 architecture L1 interrupt controllers as the parent of brcmstb-l2 interrupt controllers that the deactivation of the parent interrupt could happen before the brcmstb-l2 deasserted its output. This would lead the GIC to reactivate the interrupt only to find that no L2 interrupt was pending. The result was a spurious interrupt invoking handle_bad_irq() with its associated messaging. While this did not create a functional problem it is a waste of cycles. The hazard exists because the memory mapped bus writes to the brcmstb-l2 registers are buffered and the GIC v3 architecture uses a very efficient system register write to deactivate the interrupt. Add a write memory barrier prior to invoking chained_irq_exit() to introduce a dsb(st) on those systems to ensure the system register write cannot be executed until the memory mapped writes are visible to the system.
