genirq: Allow NULL affinity for setup_percpu_irq()

setup_percpu_irq() was forgotten when the percpu_devid infrastructure was
updated to deal with CPU affinities.

In order to keep ignoring users of this legacy API, provide sensible
defaults by setting the affinity to cpu_online_mask if none was provided by
the caller.
