[PATCH] pinctrl: samsung: fix segfault when using external interrupts on s3c24xx

We are getting a NULL pointer dereference when working with external
interrupts on s3c24xx:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000a8
pgd = c0104000
[000000a8] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.10.0-rc8mini2440-sub-00047-g0722f57bfae9-dirty #3
Hardware name: Samsung S3C2416 (Flattened Device Tree)
task: c07399f8 task.stack: c0734000
PC is at s3c24xx_demux_eint4_7+0x24/0x10c
LR is at s3c24xx_demux_eint4_7+0x108/0x10c

The problem is in the function s3c24xx_demux_eint() when dereferencing
bank->eint_base.

At this point, we cannot get the bank pointer from the irq_desc
structure since it is pointing to the hardware irq, not virq.

So let's get the bank pointer directly from data->drvdata.

This is a regression from commit 8b1bd11c1f8f529057369c5b3702d13fd24e2765.

Tested on FriendlyARM mini2440.
