There was a fairly long thread about this not that long ago. A somewhat simplified explanation is that the IRQ balance daemon loads, discovers that it can not do dynamic balancing with your hardware, and exits. But the script that launches it does not handle this and leaves the lock file that says the service is running. When you shutdown the system, the script tries to shut down the daemon, but because it is not running, the script reports that it failed. There is a bug report on this. I have not been following it, so I am not sure of the status. One fix would probably to have the daemon exit with a non-zero return code when it can not do dynamic balancing.
