[PATCH] ata: Fix build error in pata_of_platform (NO_IRQ usage)

This patch makes a band-aid fix the following build failure:

CC drivers/ata/pata_of_platform.o
drivers/ata/pata_of_platform.c: In function 'pata_of_platform_probe':
drivers/ata/pata_of_platform.c:55:13: error: 'NO_IRQ' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/ata/pata_of_platform.c:55:13: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

The proper fix (stop OF code from returning NO_IRQ values) is pending.

Here is the story:

- NO_IRQ is evil[1], AFAIR the trend is to remove its usage completely;
- Sane arches (x86) don't use it at all, or have it defined to 0
(PPC32/64).
- On another arches it is either -1 or whatever random value;
- The NO_IRQ disease spreads despite our willingness, even within
the new OF code.

The new irq domain stuff (that is used on ARM) always returns 0
in 'no irq' case, so we may easily remove it.

So the proper fix would be two-fold: for OF and for that driver.
But this is for 3.3 kernels. I'll send the two patches as follow-ups.

In the meantime, the band-aid (for 3.2) is down below.
