genirq: Deal with desc->set_type() changing desc->chip
The set_type() function can change the chip implementation when the trigger mode changes. That might result in using an non-initialized irq chip when called from __setup_irq() or when called via set_irq_type() on an already enabled irq. The set_irq_type() function should not be called on an enabled irq, but because we forgot to put a check into it, we have a bunch of users which grew the habit of doing that and it never blew up as the function is serialized via desc->lock against all users of desc->chip and they never hit the non-initialized irq chip issue. The easy fix for the __setup_irq() issue would be to move the irq_chip_set_defaults(desc->chip) call after the trigger setting to make sure that a chip change is covered. But as we have already users, which do the type setting after request_irq(), the safe fix for now is to call irq_chip_set_defaults() from __irq_set_trigger() when desc->set_type() changed the irq chip. It needs a deeper analysis whether we should refuse to change the chip on an already enabled irq, but that'd be a large scale change to fix all the existing users. So that's neither stable nor 2.6.35 material.
