Subject: [PATCH]: Fix assertion failure with MSI on sparc64

Hi Michael, I'm still working through the various regressions on
sparc64 added by your MSI changes :-)

The one I fixed the other day was a missed switch over to
alloc_pci_dev() in the sparc64 PCI probing code which caused an OOPS
in pci_enable_msi() because the list head of the pci dev was not
initialized.  PowerPC's OBP firmware tree based PCI probing code
was updated, sparc64's wasnt.

Today's find is a triggered assertion in msi_free_irqs() when the
system doesn't support MSI, in which case arch_setup_msi_irqs() always
returns an error.

The problem is that when this happens we branch into msi_free_irqs(),
to which you added the following assertion loop:

	list_for_each_entry(entry, &dev->msi_list, list)
		BUG_ON(irq_has_action(entry->irq));

Well, if arch_setup_msi_irqs() fails, entry->irq will be zero and
although that's never assigned to any normal devices we use that IRQ
number for the timer interrupt on sparc64 so this assertion triggers.

Better to test for zero before doing the irq_has_action() assertion
thing.
