parisc: Remove unnecessary NULL check of the kstat_irqs field

The kstat_irqs field of struct irq_desc is used to store a per-cpu count
of interrupt events. It is initialized in init_desc(), along with all
the other fields in struct irq_desc that need explicit initialization,
and therefore it's always available (non-NULL) for any valid interrupt
descriptor.

On parisc, CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ is disabled, interrupt descriptors are
allocated statically in the irq_desc[] array, and kstat_irqs is
initialized implicitly to NULL. The kstat_irqs field is initialized
later, for all descriptors, via start_kernel() -> early_irq_init() ->
init_desc().

smp_boot_one_cpu() is used only for CPU hotplugging. On a SMP system,
the boot CPU initializes the interrupt descriptors as described above,
and smp_boot_one_cpu() is called later, for the secondary CPU(s).

A previous change made similar changes across the generic interrupt code in
kernel/irq/irqdesc.c, and provides a more detailed explanation of why
kstat_irqs is guaranteed to be non-NULL.
