x86/irq: Fix XT-PIC-XT-PIC in /proc/interrupts

Fix duplicate XT-PIC seen in /proc/interrupts on x86 systems
that make  use of 8259A Programmable Interrupt Controllers.
Specifically convert  output like this:

           CPU0
  0:      76573    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    timer
  1:         11    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    i8042
  2:          0    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    cascade
  4:          8    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    serial
  6:          3    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    floppy
  7:          0    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    parport0
  8:          1    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    rtc0
 10:        448    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    fddi0
 12:         23    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    eth0
 14:       2464    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    ide0
NMI:          0   Non-maskable interrupts
ERR:          0

to one like this:

           CPU0
  0:     122033    XT-PIC  timer
  1:         11    XT-PIC  i8042
  2:          0    XT-PIC  cascade
  4:          8    XT-PIC  serial
  6:          3    XT-PIC  floppy
  7:          0    XT-PIC  parport0
  8:          1    XT-PIC  rtc0
 10:        145    XT-PIC  fddi0
 12:         31    XT-PIC  eth0
 14:       2245    XT-PIC  ide0
NMI:          0   Non-maskable interrupts
ERR:          0

that is one like we used to have from ~2.2 till it was changed
sometime.

The rationale is there is no value in this duplicate
information, it  merely clutters output and looks ugly.  We only
have one handler for  8259A interrupts so there is no need to
give it a name separate from the  name already given to
irq_chip.

We could define meaningful names for handlers based on bits in
the ELCR  register on systems that have it or the value of the
LTIM bit we use in  ICW1 otherwise (hardcoded to 0 though with
MCA support gone), to tell  edge-triggered and level-triggered
inputs apart.  While that information  does not affect 8259A
interrupt handlers it could help people determine  which lines
are shareable and which are not.  That is material for a
separate change though.

Any tools that parse /proc/interrupts are supposed not to be
affected  since it was many years we used the format this change
converts back to.
