[PATCH 0/2] Remove unnecessary NULL check of the kstat_irqs field

The kstat_irqs field of struct irq_desc is used to store a per-cpu count
of interrupt events. It is initialized in init_desc(), along with all
the other fields in struct irq_desc that need explicit initialization,
and therefore it's always available (non-NULL) for any valid interrupt
descriptor.

This series removes the unnecessary NULL check of the kstat_irqs field.
The first patch addresses the generic IRQ code, and the second patch
addresses one isolated occurrence in the parisc code. The first patch
also includes a more detailed description of why removing the NULL check
is safe.
