genirq: prevent wakeup of freed irq thread
free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up the handler thread. Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be freed anyway. This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.
