[PATCH 06/12] tty/serial/kgdboc: Add and wire up clear_irqs callback

[Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org>]

This patch implements a new callback: clear_irqs. It is used for the
cases when KDB-entry (e.g. NMI) and KDB IO (e.g. serial port) shares
the same interrupt. To get the idea, let's take some real example (ARM
machine): we have a serial port which interrupt is routed to an NMI,
and the interrupt is used to enter KDB. Once there is some activity on
the serial port, the CPU receives NMI exception, and we fall into KDB
shell. So, it is our "debug console", and it is able to interrupt (and
thus debug) even IRQ handlers themselves.

When used that way, the interrupt never reaches serial driver's IRQ
handler routine, which means that serial driver will not silence the
interrupt. NMIs behaviour are quite arch-specific, and we can't assume
that we can use them as ordinary IRQs, e.g. on some arches (like ARM)
we can't handle data aborts, the behaviour is undefined then. So we
can't just handle execution to serial driver's IRQ handler from the
NMI context once we're done with KDB (plus this would defeat the
debugger's purpose: we want the NMI handler be as simple as possible,
so it will have less chances to hang).

So, given that have to deal with it somehow, we have two options:

1. Implement something that clears the interrupt;
2. Implement a whole new concept of grabbing tty for exclusive KDB use,
   plus implement mask/unmask callbacks, i.e.:
   - Since consoles might use ttys w/o opending them, we would have
     to make kdb respect CON_ENABLED flag (maybe a good idea to do it
     anyway);
   - Add 'bool exclusive' argument to tty_find_polling_driver(), if set
     to 1, the function will refuse to return an already tty; and will
     use the flag in tty_reopen() to not allow multiple users (there are
     already checks for pty masters, which are "open once" ttys);
   - Once we got the tty exclusively, we would need to call some new
     uart->mask_all_but_rx_interrupts call before we want to use the
     port for NMI/KDB, and unmask_all_but_rx_interrupts after we're
     done with it.

The second option is obviously more complex, needlessly so, and less
generic. So I went with the first one: we just consume all the interrupts.
The tty becomes silently unusable for the rest of the world when we use
it with KDB; but once we reroute the serial IRQ source back from NMI to
an ordinary IRQ (in KDB this can be done with 'disable_nmi' command), it
will behave as normal.

p.s. Since the callback is so far used only by polling user, we place
it under the appropriate #ifdef.
