Subject: [PATCH] genirq: fix irq flow handler uninstall

The sanity check for no_irq_chip in __set_irq_hander() is unconditional
on both install and uninstall of an handler. This triggers false
warnings and replaces no_irq_chip by dummy_irq_chip in the uninstall
case. 

Check only, when a real handler is installed.
