[MIPS] irq_cpu: use handle_percpu_irq handler to avoid dropping interrupts.

This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU
interrupt pins on an SMP system.  Typically the scenario is most easily
triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt
number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor.

   CPU A			CPU B

   do_IRQ()
   generic_handle_irq()
   handle_level_irq()
   spin_lock(desc_lock)
   set IRQ_INPROGRESS
   spin_unlock(desc_lock)
				do_IRQ()
				generic_handle_irq()
				handle_level_irq()
				spin_lock(desc_lock)
				IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out
   spin_lock(desc_lock)
   clear IRQ_INPROGRESS
   spin_unlock(desc_lock)

In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be
acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer
interrupt until the count register wraps around.

With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just
working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on
bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on
one processor to trigger this one.

For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several
CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it.  There is no
way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from
the platform code.  I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this
should be ok.
