Subject: [PATCH v2] irqdomain: potential Oops in irq_domain_push_irq()

This code generates a Smatch warning:

    kernel/irq/irqdomain.c:1511 irq_domain_push_irq()
    warn: variable dereferenced before check 'root_irq_data' (see line 1508)

irq_get_irq_data() does sometimes return NULL pointers so it does look
like this code could Oops.  I've moved the check for NULL earlier to
fix this bug.
