genirq: Add IRQF_NO_AUTOEN for request_irq/nmi()

Many drivers don't want interrupts enabled automatically via request_irq().
So they are handling this issue by either way of the below two:

(1)
  irq_set_status_flags(irq, IRQ_NOAUTOEN);
  request_irq(dev, irq...);

(2)
  request_irq(dev, irq...);
  disable_irq(irq);

The code in the second way is silly and unsafe. In the small time gap
between request_irq() and disable_irq(), interrupts can still come.

The code in the first way is safe though it's subobtimal.

Add a new IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag which can be handed in by drivers to
request_irq() and request_nmi(). It prevents the automatic enabling of the
requested interrupt/nmi in the same safe way as #1 above. With that the
various usage sites of #1 and #2 above can be simplified and corrected.
