Aside of being conceptually wrong, there is also an actual (hard to
trigger and mostly theoretical) problem.

CPU0                            CPU1
free_irq(X)                     interrupt X
                                spin_lock(desc->lock)
                                wake irq thread()
                                spin_unlock(desc->lock)
spin_lock(desc->lock)
remove action()
shutdown_irq()                  
release_resources()             thread_handler()
spin_unlock(desc->lock)           access released resources.

synchronize_irq()

Move the release resources invocation after synchronize_irq() so it's
guaranteed that the threaded handler has finished.

Move the resource request call out of the desc->lock held region as well,
so the invocation context is the same for both request and release.

This solves the problems with those functions on RT as well.
