PATCH v2 1/1 hwmon: (gpio-fan) return IRQ_HANDLED from the shared alarm IRQ handler

fan_alarm_irq_handler() always schedules alarm_work but returns IRQ_NONE, so the kernel treats every alarm interrupt as unhandled. On a shared line that risks the whole line being disabled as spurious.

v1 just fixed that, but it was still IRQF_SHARED, and always returning IRQ_HANDLED there defeats spurious-interrupt detection for the line -- if the interrupt ever fires without a real event, nothing catches it, and a fault could spin the CPU in the handler.

Sashiko flagged this in v1, and Guenter confirmed: this interrupt must not be shared. So v2 drops IRQF_SHARED too.

Changes in v2:
- Also drop IRQF_SHARED (Guenter): always returning IRQ_HANDLED on a still-shared line defeats spurious-interrupt detection for it. v2 is a full patch with both fixes, not a delta on top of v1.
