Since d4a45c68dc81 ("irqdomain: Protect the linear revmap with RCU"),
any irqdomain lookup requires the RCU read lock to be held.

This assumes that the architecture code will be structured such as
irq_enter() will be called *before* the interrupt is looked up
in the irq domain. However, this isn't the case for MIPS, and a number
of drivers are structured to do it the other way around when handling
an interrupt in their root irqchip (secondary irqchips are OK by
construction).

This results in a RCU splat on a lockdep-enabled kernel when the kernel
takes an interrupt from idle, as reported by Guenter Roeck.

Note that this could have fired previously if any driver had used
tree-based irqdomain, which always had the RCU requirement.

To solve this, provide a MIPS-specific helper (do_domain_IRQ())
as the pendent of do_IRQ() that will do thing in the right order
(and maybe save some cycles in the process).

Ideally, MIPS would be moved over to using handle_domain_irq(),
but that's much more ambitious.
