Subject: x86/ioapic: Restore IO-APIC irq_chip retrigger callback

From: Ruslan Ruslichenko <[email protected]>

commit a9b4f08770b415f30f2fb0f8329a370c8f554aa3 upstream.

commit d32932d02e18 removed the irq_retrigger callback from the IO-APIC chip and did not add it to the new IO-APIC-IR irq chip.

There is no harm because the interrupts are resent in software when the retrigger callback is NULL, but it's less efficient. So restore them.
