genirq: provide dummy hard irq handler for threaded interrupts

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

Quite often drivers using threaded interrupts don't do anything
in the hard IRQ portion of their interrupt handler; everything
is offloaded to the threaded half. Instead of having every driver
implement a stub have one ready in the IRQ core.
