pps: pps-gpio: split IRQ handler into hardirq timestamper + threaded handler

Split the pps-gpio interrupt handler into a primary (hardirq) handler that
captures the PPS timestamp at interrupt entry, and a threaded handler that
processes the event.  This produces the same two-part handler structure on
both PREEMPT_RT and non-RT kernels.

On non-RT kernels the threaded portion runs immediately after the primary,
with no behavioral change compared to the previous single-handler
implementation.

On PREEMPT_RT, where interrupt handlers are force-threaded by default, the
previous single-handler implementation captured the timestamp inside the
threaded portion, after IRQ-thread scheduling delay.  With the split, the
timestamp is captured in true hardirq context as it is on non-RT kernels,
eliminating a significant source of PPS jitter on RT systems.
