[PATCH] genirq: Fix NULL pointer dereference in resend_irqs()

[Yunfeng Ye]

Oops occur when running qemu on arm64:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000158
  Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP
  pc : resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0
  lr : resend_irqs+0x64/0xb0
  ...
  Call trace:
   resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0
   tasklet_action_common.isra.6+0x84/0x138
   tasklet_action+0x2c/0x38

As we know, softirq is a asynchronous mechanism. The process of free
irqs does not take resend irq handling into account. Thus, the irq_desc
may be already freed before softirq running, and resend_irqs() does not
check the validation of irq_desc, finally, the Oops occur. Process is as
follows:

  1):
  __setup_irq
    irq_startup
      check_irq_resend  // activate softirq to handle resend irq
  2):
  irq_domain_free_irqs
    irq_free_descs
      free_desc
        call_rcu(&desc->rcu, delayed_free_desc)
  3):
  __do_softirq
    tasklet_action
      resend_irqs
        desc = irq_to_desc(irq)
        desc->handle_irq(desc)  // desc is NULL, Oops occur

Fix this by checking for a NULL pointer when get @irq_desc in
resend_irqs().
