x86/irq: Check for valid irq descriptor in check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable()



When an interrupt is migrated away from a cpu it will stay
in its vector_irq array until smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt
succeeded. The cfg->move_in_progress flag is cleared already
when the IPI was sent.

When the interrupt is destroyed after migration its 'struct
irq_desc' is freed and the vector_irq arrays are cleaned up.
But since cfg->move_in_progress is already 0 the references
at cpus before the last migration will not be cleared. So
this would leave a reference to an already destroyed irq
alive.

When the cpu is taken down at this point, the
check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() function finds a valid irq
number in the vector_irq array, but gets NULL for its
descriptor and dereferences it, causing a kernel panic.

This has been observed on real systems at shutdown. Add a
check to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() for a valid
'struct irq_desc' to prevent this issue.
