[RFC PATCH 1/5] irq: Always enable parent interrupt tracking

[Radu Rendec <rrendec@redhat.com>]

The kernel already has some support for tracking the parent interrupt in
the case of chained interrupts, but it is currently used only by the
IRQ-resend code.

This patch enables the parent interrupt tracking code unconditionally.
The IRQ-resend code still depends on CONFIG_HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND.

The intention is to (re)use the existing parent interrupt tracking
support for different purposes, more specifically to expose chained
interrupt topology to userspace. That, in turn, makes it possible to
control the SMP affinity of chained interrupts in a way that does not
break the existing interface and the promises it makes.
