irqdomain: Add missing NULL pointer check in irq_domain_create_hierarchy()

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 irqdomain's root will stay to point to
itself.
