genirq: Remove paranoid warnons and bogus fixups
Alexander pointed out that the warnons in the regular exit path are bogus and the thread_mask one actually could be triggered when __setup_irq() hands out that thread_mask again after __free_irq() dropped irq_desc->lock. Thinking more about it, neither IRQTF_RUNTHREAD nor the bit in thread_mask can be set as this is the regular exit path. We come here due to: __free_irq() remove action from desc synchronize_irq() kthread_stop() So synchronize_irq() makes sure that the thread finished running and cleaned up both the thread_active count and thread_mask. After that point nothing can set IRQTF_RUNTHREAD on this action. So the warnons and the cleanups are pointless.
