genirq: Flush the irq thread on synchronization
The current implementation does not always flush the threaded handler when disabling the irq. In case the irq handler was called, but the threaded handler hasn't started running yet, the interrupt will be flagged as pending, and the handler will not run. This implementation has some issues: First, if the interrupt is a wake source and flagged as pending, the system will not be able to suspend. Second, when quickly disabling and re-enabling the irq, the threaded handler might continue to run after the irq is re-enabled without the irq handler being called first. This might be an unexpected behavior. In addition, it might be counter-intuitive that the threaded handler will not be called even though the irq handler was called and returned IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. Fix this by always waiting for the threaded handler to complete in synchronize_irq().
