x86/ioapic: Pass the correct data to unmask_ioapic_irq()

One of the rarely executed code pathes in check_timer() calls
unmask_ioapic_irq() passing irq_get_chip_data(0) as argument.

That's wrong as unmask_ioapic_irq() expects a pointer to the irq data of
interrupt 0. irq_get_chip_data(0) returns NULL, so the following
dereference in unmask_ioapic_irq() causes a kernel panic.

The issue went unnoticed in the first place because irq_get_chip_data()
returns a void pointer so the compiler cannot do a type check on the
argument. The code path was added for machines with broken configuration,
but it seems that those machines are either not running current kernels or
simply do not longer exist.

Hand in irq_get_irq_data(0) as argument which provides the correct data.
