Recently handle_percpu_devid_irq() was changed to call
add_interrupt_randomness(). This introduced a potential deadlock when
handle_percpu_devid_irq() is used to handle an NMI, which can be
detected with lockdep, e.g.

During review, Thomas pointed out it wouldn't be safe for
handle_percpu_devid_irq() to call add_interrupt_randomness() if it was
used to handle NMIs:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87bjgik042.ffs@tglx/
... but evidently people missed that handle_percpu_devid_irq() *is* used
for NMIs.
While it might seem that NMIs should be handled with a separate
handle_percpu_devid_nmi() function, for various structural reasons this was
impractical, and handle_percpu_devid_irq() has been expected to be used for
NMIs since commits:
21bbbc50f3 ("irqchip/gic-v3: Switch high priority PPIs over to handle_percpu_devid_irq()")
5ff78c8de9 ("genirq: Kill handle_percpu_devid_fasteoi_nmi()")
Taking the above into account, avoid the deadlock by not calling
add_interrupt_randomness() when handle_percpu_devid_irq() is called in an
NMI context. This is consistent with other NNI handling flows, which do not
call add_interrupt_randomness().
At the same time, update the kernel-doc comment to make it clear that
handle_percpu_devid_irq() can be called in NMI context. The rest of
handle_percpu_devid_irq() is currently NMI safe and doesn't need to change.
