commit 52abb700e16a9aa4cbc03f3d7f80206cbbc80680 upstream.

Xommit ac5637611(genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken)
fails to unmask when a !IRQ_ONESHOT threaded handler is handled by
handle_level_irq.

This happens because thread_mask is or'ed unconditionally in
irq_wake_thread(), but for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts never cleared.  So
the check for !desc->thread_active fails and keeps the interrupt
disabled.

Keep the thread_mask zero for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts.

Document the thread_mask magic while at it.
