Summary

iflib_softirq_alloc_generic() can be called with a NULL irq parameter
(as done by for example the bnxt and ixl drivers). If
iflib_irq_set_affinity() then returns an error we'd try to dereference
the NULL irq pointer.

Check irq, and pass '-1' (which taskqgroup_attach() expects) if we don't
have an irq.

Direct commit to stable/12, because this issue does not exist on main
and stable/13.
