genirq: Clarify that irq wake state is orthogonal to enable/disable
There's some confusion around if an irq that's disabled with disable_irq() can still wake the system from sleep states such as "suspend to RAM". Clarify this in the kernel documentation for irq_set_irq_wake() so that it's clear that an irq can be disabled and still wake the system if it has been marked for wakeup.
