x86/irq/ioapic: Check for valid irq_cfg pointer in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt

Posting this patch to fix an issue concerning sparse irq's that
I raised a while back.  There was discussion about adding
refcounting to sparse irqs (to fix other potential race
conditions), but that does not appear to have been addressed
yet.  This covers the only issue of this type that I've
encountered in this area.

A NULL pointer dereference can occur in
smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() if we haven't yet setup the
irq_cfg pointer in the irq_desc.irq_data.chip_data.

In create_irq_nr() there is a window where we have set
vector_irq in __assign_irq_vector(), but not yet called
irq_set_chip_data() to set the irq_cfg pointer.

Should an IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR hit the cpu in question during
this time, smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() will attempt to
process the aforementioned irq, but panic when accessing
irq_cfg.

Only continue processing the irq if irq_cfg is non-NULL.
