[PATCH 1/1] irq: Fix uaf issue in irq_find_at_or_after

The function "irq_find_at_or_after" is at the risk of use-after-free
due to the race condition between the functions "delayer_free_desc"
and "irq_desc_get_irq". The function "delayer_free_desc" could be
called between "mt_find" and "irq_desc_get_irq" due to the absence
of any locks to ensure atomic operations on the "irq_desc" structure.

In this patch, we introduce a pair of locks, namely "rcu_read_lock"
and "rcu_read_unlock" to prevent the occurrence of use-after-free in
"irq_find_at_or_after".
