Subject: [PATCH] genirq: irq_chip->startup() usage in setup_irq and
	set_irq_chained handler

This patch clarifies a usage of irq_chip->startup() callback:

1. The "if (startup) startup(); else enabled();" code in setup_irq()
   is unnecessary, as startup() falls back to enabled() via
   default callbacks, set by irq_chip_set_defaults().

2. When using set_irq_chained_handler() the startup() was never called,
   which is not good at all... Fixed. And again - when startup() is not
   defined the call will fall back to enable() than to unmask() via
   default callbacks.
