genirq: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in resend_irqs()
The following crash was observed:
  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000158
  Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP
  pc : resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0
  lr : resend_irqs+0x64/0xb0
  ...
  Call trace:
   resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0

The reason for this is that the interrupt resend mechanism happens in soft
interrupt context, which is a asynchronous mechanism versus other
operations on interrupts. free_irq() does not take resend handling into
account. Thus, the irq descriptor might be already freed before the resend
tasklet is executed. resend_irqs() does not check the return value of the
interrupt descriptor lookup and derefences the return value
unconditionally.
  1):
  __setup_irq
    irq_startup
      check_irq_resend  // activate softirq to handle resend irq
  2):
  irq_domain_free_irqs
    irq_free_descs
      free_desc
        call_rcu(&desc->rcu, delayed_free_desc)
  3):
  __do_softirq
    tasklet_action
      resend_irqs
        desc = irq_to_desc(irq)
        desc->handle_irq(desc)  // desc is NULL --> Ooops
Fix this by adding a NULL pointer check in resend_irqs() before derefencing
the irq descriptor.
