Subject: [PATCH] irqdomain: fix regression for Xen guests

The recent switch to per-domain locking caused a NULL dereference in
irq_domain_create_hierarchy(), as Xen code is calling
msi_create_irq_domain() with a NULL parent pointer.

Fix that by testing parent to be set before dereferencing it. For a
non-existing parent the irq-domain's root will stay to point to
itself.

Fixes: 9dbb8e3452ab ("irqdomain: Switch to per-domain locking")
