[PATCH v2] powerpc/xive: Avoid unitialized variable

From: Breno Leitao <breno.leitao at gmail.com>

Function xive_native_get_ipi() might uses chip_id without it being
initialized.

This gives the following error on 'smatch' tool:

	error: uninitialized symbol 'chip_id'

The suggestion is using xc->chip_id instead of consulting the OF for chip id,
which is safe since xive_prepare_cpu() should have initialized ->chip_id by
the time xive_native_get_ipi() is called.
