[ARM] 5401/1: Orion: fix edge triggered GPIO interrupt support

The GPIO interrupts can be configured as either level triggered or edge
triggered, with a default of level triggered.  When an edge triggered
interrupt is requested, the gpio_irq_set_type method is called which
currently switches the given IRQ descriptor between two struct irq_chip
instances: orion_gpio_irq_level_chip and orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip. This
happens via __setup_irq() which also calls irq_chip_set_defaults() to
assign default methods to uninitialized ones.  The problem is that
irq_chip_set_defaults() is called before the irq_chip reference is
switched, leaving the new irq_chip (orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip in this
case) with uninitialized methods such as chip->startup() causing a kernel
oops.

Many solutions are possible, such as making irq_chip_set_defaults() global
and calling it from gpio_irq_set_type(), or calling __irq_set_trigger()
before irq_chip_set_defaults() in __setup_irq().  But those require
modifications to the generic IRQ ...
