[PATCH] genirq: Don't return error on missing optional irq_request_resources()

[Antonio Borneo <antonio.borneo@foss.st.com>]

Function irq_chip::irq_request_resources() is reported as optional
in the declaration of struct irq_chip.
If the parent irq_chip does not implement it, we should ignore it
and return.

Don't return error if the functions is missing.

As follow-up of discussion in
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875ymd6xdu.wl-maz@kernel.org/
here is a proposal for changing the returned value.

A similar issue is present for the optional function
irq_set_vcpu_affinity(), to be covered separately, if needed.
