We kept shadow copies of which interrupt sources we have enabled and
disabled, but due to an order bug in how intrl2_mask_clear was defined,
we could run into the following scenario:

CPU0					CPU1
intrl2_1_mask_clear(..)
sets INTRL2_CPU_MASK_CLEAR
					bcm_sf2_switch_1_isr
					read INTRL2_CPU_STATUS and masks with stale
					irq1_mask value
updates irq1_mask value

Which would make us loop again and again trying to process and interrupt
we are not clearing since our copy of whether it was enabled before
still indicates it was not. Fix this by updating the shadow copy first,
and then unasking at the HW level.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
