irqchip: mips-gic: Handle pending interrupts once in __gic_irq_dispatch()
When an interrupt occurs __gic_irq_dispatch() continuously reads local
and shared pending registers until all is serviced before
returning. The problem with that is that it could introduce a long
delay before returning if a piece of hardware keeps triggering while
in one of these loops.
To ensure fairness and priority doesn't get skewed a lot, read local
and shared pending registers once to service each pending IRQ once.
If another interupt triggers while servicing the current ones, then we
shall re-enter the handler after we return.
