If the shared indicator is used the following race leads to
an inbound stall:

Device                  CPU0                    CPU1
========================================================

non-shared DSCI =>1
ALSI => 1
                        Thin INT
                        ALSI => 0

                        non-shared DSCI
                        tasklets scheduled

shared DSCI => 1
ALSI => 1

                        shared DSCI => 0
                        ALSI ? -> set
                                                Thin INT
                                                ALSI => 0
                        ALSI was set,
                        shared DSCI => 1

After that no more interrupts occur because the DSCI is still set.
Fix that race by only resetting the shared DSCI if it was actually
set so the tasklets for all shared devices are scheduled and will
run after the interrupt.
