Subject: [PATCH v1] x86/irq: handle chained interrupts during IRQ migration

Chained interrupt handlers dont have an irqaction and hence are not
handled during migrating interrupts when some cores go offline.

Handle this by introducing a irq_is_chained() check which is based
on the IRQ_NOREQUEST flag being set for such interrupts. fixup_irq()
can then handle such interrupts and not skip them over.
