I read the definition of handle_irq_desc more carefully and [1]. I will
change it to hard IRQ context. 

I got confused by the kernel-docs under /kernel/irq/irqdesc.c as it states
that the function must be called from an IRQ context for generic_handle_irq 
but explicitly states hard IRQ context for another funtion.
