Subject: irqchip/gic: Allow self-SGIs for SMP on UP configurations

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

commit 059e232089e45b0befc9933d31209c225e08b426 upstream.

On systems where a single CPU is present, the GIC may not support
having SGIs delivered to a target list. In that case, we use the
self-SGI mechanism to allow the interrupt to be delivered locally.
