[PATCH 1/9] irq: add irq_set_chained_handler_and_data()

Driver authors seem to get the ordering of irq_set_chained_handler()
and irq_set_handler_data() wrong - ordering the former before the
latter.  This opens a race window where, if there is an interrupt
pending, the handler will be called between these two calls,
potentially resulting in an oops.

Provide a single interface to set both of these together, especially
as that's commonly what is required.

It probably makes sense to convert everything over to this new
registration function, and kill all users of irq_set_chained_handler()
to prevent this problem recurring.  Thoughts?
