[PATCH v3] x86: Replace setup_irq() by request_irq()

[afzal mohammed]

request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). Invocations of setup_irq()
occur after memory allocators are ready.

Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not
ready by the time early interrupts were initialized.

Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq().

v3:
 * Instead of tree wide series, arch specific patch
 * Strip irrelevant portions & more tweaking in commit message
 * Remove name indirection in pr_err string & modify to the form
	"Failed to request irq 2 (cascade)\n"
 * Use local variable for flags to improve readability
v2:
 * Replace pr_err("request_irq() on %s failed" by
           pr_err("%s: request_irq() failed"
 * Commit message massage
