Subject: sc16is7xx: Drop bogus use of IRQF_ONESHOT

From: Josh Cartwright <joshc@ni.com>

commit 04da73803c05dc1150ccc31cbf93e8cd56679c09 upstream.

The use of IRQF_ONESHOT when registering an interrupt handler with
request_irq() is non-sensical.

Not only that, it also prevents the handler from being threaded when it
otherwise should be w/ IRQ_FORCED_THREADING is enabled.  This causes the
following deadlock observed by Sean Nyekjaer on -rt:
