[IRQ] Buggy driver makes __setup_irq segfault

Hello,

I'm a noob, so I suppose this behavior is expected, but I'm reporting it,
just in case. (I tested with 3.14.41)

Consider this buggy driver, calling request_irq() multiple times,
and not calling free_irq in the cleanup routine.

static irqreturn_t scard_isr(int irq, void *dev_id)
{
	return IRQ_HANDLED;
}

static int __init zozo_init(void)
{
	printk("RET=%d\n", request_irq(64, scard_isr, 0, "scard", NULL));
	printk("RET=%d\n", request_irq(64, scard_isr, 0, "scard", NULL));
	printk("RET=%d\n", request_irq(64, scard_isr, 0, "scard", NULL));
	return 0;
}

static void __exit zozo_cleanup(void)
{
}

module_init(zozo_init);
module_exit(zozo_cleanup);


When the module is inserted for the first time, everything behaves as
expected: the first call to request_irq() succeeds, and the next calls
fail, with an error message from kernel/irq/manage.c:__setup_irq()

# insmod zozo.ko                                
[  402.477185] RET=0

[  402.505289] OK
[  402.507006] RET=-16

But the next time the module is inserted, the process segfaults
trying to write the error message in __setup_irq()
