genirq: Allow disabling of softirq processing in irq thread context
The processing of softirqs in irq thread context is a performance gain
for the non-rt workloads of a system, but it's counterproductive for
interrupts which are explicitely related to the realtime
workload. Allow such interrupts to prevent softirq processing in their
thread context.
