genirq: Merge irqaction::{dev_id,percpu_dev_id} 

When irqaction::percpu_dev_id was introduced, it was hoped that it could be
part of an anonymous union with dev_id, as the two fields are mutually
exclusive.

However, toolchains used at the time were often showing terrible support
for anonymous unions, breaking the build on a number of architectures. It
was therefore decided to keep the two fields separate and address this down
the line.

14 years later, the compiler dark age is over, and there is universal
support for anonymous unions. Get a whole pointer back that can immediately
be spent on something else.
