    xen/arm: irq: End cleanly spurious interrupt
    
    no_irq_type handlers are used when an IRQ does not have action attached.
    This is useful to detect misconfiguration between the interrupt
    controller and the software.
    
    Currently, all the handlers will do nothing on spurious interrupt. This
    means if such interrupt is received, the priority of the interrupt will
    not be dropped and the processor will lose the ability to receive any
    interrupt lower or equal to the priority.
    
    Spurious interrupt can happen while releasing interrupt assigned to
    guest (happen during domain destruction). The interaction is roughly
    
    CPU0                                CPU1
    release_guest_irq(A)
    spin_lock(&desc->lock)
    gic_remove_irq_from_guest
                                        receive IRQ A
                                        spin_lock(&desc->lock)
        desc->handler->shutdown()
          set_bit(IRQ_DISABLED)
        desc->handler = &no_irq_type
    spin_unlock(&desc->lock)
                                        desc->handler->end();
                                        spin_unlock(&desc->lock)
    
    Because the no_irq_type.end callback is implemented as a NOP, CPU1 will
    not drop the priority of the interrupt. So the CPU will not be able to
    receive any interrupt route to any guest afterwards.
    
    The problem can be prevented by dropping the priority and deactivating
    the interrupt via gic_hw_ops->gic_host_irq->end().
    
    Note that, for now, interrupt used by Xen are safe because it is not
    using no_irq_type on release.
