In this case, when IRQ_INPROGRESS flag is set, on another CPU, it will
mask and ack it, if before the primary handler on the first CPU returns,
the edge interrupt is raised again, it will be lost, right?
So I think set PENDING just confirm one time, it just depends on primary handler
execution time and irq frequency.
