Keep track of disable_irq_nosync() invocations and call enable_irq() the
right number of times if work has been cancelled that would include them.

Now that the call to flush_work_keventd() (problematic because of
rtnl_mutex being held) has been replaced by cancel_work_sync() another
issue has arisen and been left unresolved. As the MDIO bus cannot be
accessed from the interrupt context the PHY interrupt handler uses
disable_irq_nosync() to prevent from looping and schedules some work to be
done as a softirq, which, apart from handling the state change of the
originating PHY, is responsible for reenabling the interrupt. Now if the
interrupt line is shared by another device and a call to the softirq
handler has been cancelled, that call to enable_irq() never happens and
the other device cannot use its interrupt anymore as its stuck disabled.
I decided to use a counter rather than a flag because there may be more
than one call to phy_change() cancelled in the queue -- a real one and a
fake one triggered by free_irq() if DEBUG_SHIRQ is used, if nothing else.
Therefore because of its nesting property enable_irq() has to be called
the right number of times to match the number disable_irq_nosync() was
called and restore the original state. This DEBUG_SHIRQ feature is also
the reason why free_irq() has to be called before cancel_work_sync().
While at it I updated the comment about phy_stop_interrupts() being
called from `keventd' -- this is no longer relevant as the use of
cancel_work_sync() makes such an approach unnecessary. OTOH a similar
comment referring to flush_scheduled_work() in phy_stop() still applies as
using cancel_work_sync() there would be dangerous.
Checked with checkpatch.pl and at the run time (with and without
DEBUG_SHIRQ).
Please apply.
