genirq: Protect access to irq_desc->action in can_request_irq()
can_request_irq() accesses and dereferences irq_desc->action w/o holding irq_desc->lock. So action can be freed on another CPU before it's dereferenced. Unlikely, but ... Protect it with desc->lock. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
