handle_nested_irq() is supposed to be running inside the parent thread
handler context. It per se has no dedicated kernel thread, thus shouldn't
touch desc->threads_active. The parent kernel thread has already taken
care of this.
Fixes: e2c12739ccf7 ("genirq: Prevent nested thread vs synchronize_hardirq() deadlock")

Despite of its correctness, I'm afraid the testing on my only PC can't
cover the affected code path. So the patch may be totally -UNTESTED-.
