This fixes a problem in fintek-cir, ite-cir and nuvoton-cir where the
irq handler would trigger during module load before the rdev member was
set, causing a NULL pointer crash.

It seems this crash is very reproducible (just bombard the receiver with
IR signals during module load), probably because when request_irq is
called, any pending intterupt is handled immediately, before
request_irq returns and rdev can be set.

This same crash was supposed to be fixed by commit
9ef449c6b31bb6a8e6dedc24de475a3b8c79be20 ("[media] rc: Postpone ISR
registration"), but the crash was still observed on the nuvoton-cir
driver.

This commit was tested on nuvoton-cir only.

Also, it didn't apply, likely due to some changes at ite-cir logic.
