Subject: [PATCH] platform-msi: Do not cache msi_desc in handler_data

The current implementation of platform MSI caches the msi_desc
pointer in irq_data::handler_data. This is a bit silly, as
we also have irq_data::msi_desc, which is perfectly valid.

Remove the useless assignment and simplify the whole flow.
