genirq: Add internal state field to irq_desc

That field will contain internal state information which is not going
to be exposed to anything outside the core code - except via accessor
functions. I'm tired of everyone fiddling in irq_desc.status.

core_internal_state__do_not_mess_with_it is clear enough, annoying to
type and easy to grep for. Offenders will be tracked down and slapped
with stinking trouts.
