[PATCHv13 2/5] genirq: Provide a snapshot mechanism for interrupt statistics

[Bitao Hu <yaoma@linux.alibaba.com>]

The soft lockup detector lacks a mechanism to identify interrupt storms
as root cause of a lockup. To enable this the detector needs a
mechanism to snapshot the interrupt count statistics on a CPU when the
detector observes a potential lockup scenario and compare that against
the interrupt count when it warns about the lockup later on. The number
of interrupts in that period give a hint whether the lockup might be
caused by an interrupt storm.

Instead of having extra storage in the lockup detector and accessing
the internals of the interrupt descriptor directly, add a snapshot
member to the per CPU irq_desc::kstat_irq structure and provide
interfaces to take a snapshot of all interrupts on the current CPU
and to retrieve the delta of a specific interrupt later on.
