Subject: clockevents: sun5i: Fix setup_irq init sequence

commit 1096be084ac59927158ce80ff1d31c33eed0e565 upstream.

The interrupt is enabled before the handler is set. Even this bug
did not appear, it is potentially dangerous as it can lead to a
NULL pointer dereference.

Fix the error by enabling the interrupt after
clockevents_config_and_register() is called.
