[Sethi Varun-B16395] We need a way to determine that irq handle got registered for 
Mpic error interrupt, only then can we go ahead and assign individual (cascaded)
error interrupts. Initially we were doing the same thing while translating 
error interrupt specifier, now we are registering the handler in mpic_init.
