Subject: [PATCH -v2] IRQ, cpu-hotplug: Fix a race between CPU hotplug and IRQ desc alloc/free

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

When developing code to bootup some APs (Application CPUs)
asynchronously, the following kernel panic is encountered.  After
checking the code, it is found that the irq_to_desc() may return NULL
during CPU hotplug.  So the NULL pointer checking is added to fix
this.
