[PATCH v3] c6x: replace setup_irq() by request_irq()

[afzal mohammed]

request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). Invocations of setup_irq()
occur after memory allocators are ready.

Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not
ready by the time early interrupts were initialized.

Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq().

i am seeing the last signoff by you in arch/c6x around 2 years back, so
seems nowadays you are not sending pull request for c6x.

If you are planning to send this patch upstream, let me know or if you
are preferring to ack this so that this can be routed via tglx, please
do so (you had acked v1, since there were minor changes, i removed it
on newer versions).
