genirq: fix irq_desc->depth handling with DEBUG_SHIRQ
When DEBUG_SHIRQ is selected, a spurious IRQ is issued before
the setup_irq() initializes the desc->depth. An IRQ handler may
call disable_irq_nosync(), but then setup_irq() will overwrite
desc->depth, and upon enable_irq() we'll catch this WARN:

That trace corresponds to this line:
WARN(1, KERN_WARNING "Unbalanced enable for IRQ %d\n", irq);

The patch fixes the problem by moving the SHIRQ code below the
setup_irq().

Unfortunately we can't easily move the SHIRQ code inside the
setup_irq(), since it grabs a spinlock, so to prvent a 'real'
IRQ from interfere us we should disable that IRQ.

p.s. The driver in question is drivers/net/phy/phy.c.
