Subject: [PATCH] AHCI: Fix threaded interrupt setup

Commit 18dcf433f3de (AHCI: Optimize single IRQ interrupt processing)
switched the single IRQ case of the AHCI driver to use threaded
threaded interrupts.

During this conversion, only the IRQF_SHARED flag was provided. The net
effect of this in the presence of level interrupts is that the
interrupt will not be masked during the execution of the treaded
handler, leading to a screaming interrupt if the thread is not
scheduled quickly enough, specially in error conditions:

Not good. The culprit is a missing IRQF_ONESHOT flag, which addition
solves the problem entierly. The number of interrupts drops radically:

[Booting Debian Jessie to a prompt]
Before fix:
 88:       3562          0       GIC  88  ahci-sunxi
After fix:
 88:       1992          0       GIC  88  ahci-sunxi

Tested on a A20 board (ahci-sunxi).
