Subject: [PATCH 01/28] genirq: Add missing "else" in irq_shutdown()

If an irq_chip provides .irq_shutdown(), but neither of .irq_disable() or
.irq_mask(), free_irq() crashes when jumping to NULL.
Fix this by only trying .irq_disable() and .irq_mask() if there's no
.irq_shutdown() provided.

This revives the symmetry with irq_startup(), which tries .irq_startup(),
.irq_enable(), and irq_unmask(), and makes it consistent with the comment for
irq_chip.irq_shutdown() in <linux/irq.h>, which says:

 * @irq_shutdown:	shut down the interrupt (defaults to ->disable if NULL)

This is also how __free_irq() behaved before the big overhaul, cfr. e.g.
3b56f0585fd4c02d047dc406668cb40159b2d340 ("genirq: Remove bogus conditional"),
where the core interrupt code always overrode .irq_shutdown() to
.irq_disable() if .irq_shutdown() was NULL.
