[PATCH 2/2] genirq: Work around __irq_set_handler vs stacked domains ordering issues

With the introduction of stacked domains, we have the issue that,
depending on where in the stack this is called, __irq_set_handler
will succeed or fail: If this is called from the inner irqchip,
__irq_set_handler() will fail, as it will look at the outer domain
as the (desc->irq_data.chip == &no_irq_chip) test fails (we haven't
set the top level yet).

This patch implements the following: "If there is at least one
valid irqchip in the domain, it will probably sort itself out".
This is clearly not ideal, but it is far less confusing then
crashing because the top-level domain is not up yet.
