AHCI: ahci Driver crash in ahci_host_activate

I ran into a crash during booting with the latest 3.11.0-rc1. After investigation, the crash was triggered by the patch below where the "pp" is NULL in some cases.

AHCI: Make distinct names for ports in /proc/interrupts

Currently all interrupts assigned to AHCI ports show up in
'/proc/interrupts' as 'ahci'. This fix adds port numbers as
suffixes and hence makes the descriptions distinct.
