[PATCH] mfd: twl6030-irq: Make sure to call request_irq beforeusing the irq_num

[Axel Lin]

I was trying to fix the error handling part because in the case of
request_irq failure, it should call kthread_stop instead of free_irq.
But it seems more reasonable to do request_irq before calling kthread_run.
