The wake_up_process() of the new irq thread in __setup_irq() is too
early as the irqaction is not yet fully initialized especially
action->irq is not yet set. The interrupt thread might dereference the
wrong irq descriptor.

Move the wakeup after the action is installed and action->irq has been
set.
