genirq: Get rid of unnecessary IRQTF_DIED flag

Currently IRQTF_DIED flag is set when a IRQ thread handler calls do_exit()
But also PF_EXITING per process flag gets set when a thread exits. This
fix eliminates the duplicate by using PF_EXITING flag.

Also, there is a race condition in exit_irq_thread(). In case a thread's
bit is cleared in desc->threads_oneshot (and the IRQ line gets unmasked),
but before IRQTF_DIED flag is set, a new interrupt might come in and set
just cleared bit again, this time forever. This fix throws IRQTF_DIED flag
away, eliminating the race as a result.

[ tglx: Test THREAD_EXITING first as suggested by Oleg ]
