That was never meant to deal with nested shaed interrupts, so the $subject
is misleading. This is not a fix, it's a functional extension.

Aside of that, please structure the changelog in paragraphs instead of one
big lump.

 1) Context
 2) Problem
 3) Solution

See also Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst and please search
there for "This patch" .....

That's wrong. See __handle_irq_event_percpu() for the correct handling of
shared interrupts vs. note_interrupt()
