x86/ioapic: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in setup_ioapic_dest() Commit 4857c91f0d19 changed the way how irq affinity is setup in setup_ioapic_dest() from using the core helper function to unconditionally calling the irq_set_affinity() callback of the underlying irq chip. That results in a NULL pointer dereference for the rare case where the underlying irq chip is lapic_chip which has no irq_set_affinity() callback. lapic_chip is occasionally used for the timer interrupt (irq 0). The fix is simple: Check the availability of the callback instead of calling it unconditionally.
