been killed and access already freed memory causing a NULL pointer
exception. Avoid this corner case by disabling the interrupts as a
part of host clean up.

No need to disable irq[0]?

This patch would disable the IRQ line and if IRQ lines are shared between BHI
and MHI, we would not see handling of BHI related work happen.

Discussed this with Hemant and and as I am dropping the previous patch, will update
this one to make it free_irq() instead which removes the IRQ handler and does not
disable the interrupt line.

The function mhi_deinit_free_irq() will not be called from mhi_power_down() and
instead, only a free for the main IRQ handler will be called.
