IRQ_PER_CPU switch is not found in current Kconfig. I'm not sure if this 
feature is going to be brought back in the short term. I remove the 
ifdef to set IRQ_PER_CPU flag in desc by default but still leave the IRQ 
handling logic unchanged. This is a temporary solution to fix system 
crash on poweroff. And this is the fix with minimum impact among the 
several solutions we tried.
