apic: fix incorrect handling of ExtINT interrupts wrt processor priority
This fixes another failure with ExtINT, demonstrated by QNX. The failure
mode is as follows:
- IPI sent to cpu 0 (bit set in APIC irr)
- IPI accepted by cpu 0 (bit cleared in irr, set in isr)
- IPI sent to cpu 0 (bit set in both irr and isr)
- PIC interrupt sent to cpu 0
The PIC interrupt causes CPU_INTERRUPT_HARD to be set, but
apic_irq_pending observes that the highest pending APIC interrupt priority
(the IPI) is the same as the processor priority (since the IPI is still
being handled), so apic_get_interrupt returns a spurious interrupt rather
than the pending PIC interrupt. The result is an endless sequence of
spurious interrupts, since nothing will clear CPU_INTERRUPT_HARD.
Instead, ExtINT interrupts should have ignored the processor priority.
Calling apic_check_pic early in apic_get_interrupt ensures that
apic_deliver_pic_intr is called instead of delivering the spurious
interrupt. apic_deliver_pic_intr then clears CPU_INTERRUPT_HARD if needed.
