Subject: [RESEND PATCH] genirq: warn about IRQF_SHARED|IRQF_DISABLED at the right place

For shared irqs IRQF_DISABLED is only guaranteed for the first handler.
So only warn starting at the second registration.

The warning is moved to __setup_irq having the additional benefit of
catching actions registered using setup_irq not only register_irq.

This doesn't fix the cases where setup order is wrong but it should
report the broken cases more reliably.

Hello,

until Thomas or Peter get round to dump IRQF_DISABLED completely this
patch removes some false positive warnings and adds a valid warning in
some situations that weren't catched before.

Best regards
Uwe
