So generic_handle_irq() is not safe to run in thread thus requires
an interrupt-disabled environment to run? If so, I'd rather this
irqsave moved into generic_handle_irq() rather than asking everyone
calling it to do irqsave.

On the other hand, the author changed a couple of spin_lock_irqsave
to spin_lock, if only this one is incorrect, it seems it is worth a
new version to fix this.
