Patch 7f1d642fbb5c ("drivers/perf: arm-pmu: Fix handling of SPI lacking
interrupt-affinity property") unintended also fixes perf_event support
for bcm2835 which doesn't have PMU interrupts. Unfortunately this change
introduce a NULL pointer dereference on bcm2835, because irq_is_percpu
always expected to be called with a valid IRQ. So fix this regression
by validating the IRQ before.

Thanks, these two look good to me. I'll queue them up as fixes and hopefully
they'll land in -rc5.
FWIW, I tested this on bcm2835-rpi and verified it fixes the boot
problem in mainline.
