Subject: [PATCH] irqdomain: fix regression for Xen guests

The recent switch to per-domain locking caused a NULL dereference in
irq_domain_create_hierarchy(), as Xen code is calling
msi_create_irq_domain() with a NULL parent pointer.

Fix that by testing parent to be set before dereferencing it. For a
non-existing parent the irq-domain's root will stay to point to
itself.

This was unexpected. Apparently the Intel VMD driver also does this (see
vmd_enable_domain()).

An alternative could be to have msi_create_irq_domain() handle the
no-parent case explicitly, but this looks the right fix for now (e.g. as
irq_domain_create_tree() does not take a flag parameter).
