irqchip: mips-gic: Handle pending interrupts once in __gic_irq_dispatch()
When an interrupt occurs __gic_irq_dispatch() continuously reads local and shared pending registers until all is serviced before returning. The problem with that is that it could introduce a long delay before returning if a piece of hardware keeps triggering while in one of these loops. To ensure fairness and priority doesn't get skewed a lot, read local and shared pending registers once to service each pending IRQ once. If another interupt triggers while servicing the current ones, then we shall re-enter the handler after we return.
