Reading /proc/interrupts iterates over the interrupt number space one by
one and looks up the descriptors one by one. That's just a waste of time.
When CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW is enabled this can utilize the maple tree and
cache the descriptor pointer efficiently for the sequence file operations.
Implement a CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW specific version in the core code and
leave the fs/proc/ variant for the legacy architectures which ignore generic
code.
This reduces the time wasted for looking up the next record significantly.
