irqchip: mips-gic: Use pcpu_masks to avoid reading GIC_SH_MASK*
This patch avoids the need to read the GIC_SH_MASK* registers when decoding shared interrupts by setting & clearing the interrupt's bit in the appropriate CPU's pcpu_masks entry when masking or unmasking the interrupt. This effectively means that whilst an interrupt is masked we clear its bit in all pcpu_masks, which causes gic_handle_shared_int() to ignore it on all CPUs without needing to check GIC_SH_MASK*. In essence, we add a little overhead to masking or unmasking interrupts but in return reduce the overhead of the far more common task of decoding interrupts.
