genirq: Fix race in register_irq_proc()
commit 95c2b17534654829db428f11bcf4297c059a2a7e upstream. Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created. In the case of a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory. This race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to hit with async probing.
