This patch series adds support to handle interrupt registration/deregistration
in arm64 pmu driver when pmu interrupt type is percpu.

Changelog:
V5:
* In irqdesc.h: Added Chris Smith's sign-off.
  In arm64 pmu driver: Handle the invalid irq-0 case for platform_get_irq().

V4:
* In arm64 pmu driver: Avoid using irq_to_desc() to check validity of irq.

V3:
* Remove validity check for 'desc' from accessor function in irqdesc.h .
  Instead, check the irq 'desc' validity in arm64 pmu driver.

V2:
* To determine whether an IRQ is percpu or not, added an accessor function in
  irqdesc.h . This approach was used by Chris Smith here[1] for similar changes
  in arm pmu driver.
* In arm64 pmu driver: Got rid of unnecessary pointer typecastings.
