genirq: Prevent access beyond allocated_irqs bitmap

Browse Source 
Lars-Peter Clausen pointed out:

   I stumbled upon this while looking through the existing archs using
   SPARSE_IRQ.  Even with SPARSE_IRQ the NR_IRQS is still the upper
   limit for the number of IRQs.

   Both PXA and MMP set NR_IRQS to IRQ_BOARD_START, with
   IRQ_BOARD_START being the number of IRQs used by the core.

   In various machine files the nr_irqs field of the ARM machine
   defintion struct is then set to "IRQ_BOARD_START + NR_BOARD_IRQS".

   As a result "nr_irqs" will greater then NR_IRQS which then again
   causes the "allocated_irqs" bitmap in the core irq code to be
   accessed beyond its size overwriting unrelated data.

The core code really misses a sanity check there.

This went unnoticed so far as by chance the compiler/linker places
data behind that bitmap which gets initialized later on those affected
platforms.

So the obvious fix would be to add a sanity check in early_irq_init()
and break all affected platforms. Though that check wants to be
backported to stable as well, which will require to fix all known
problematic platforms and probably some more yet not known ones as
well. Lots of churn.

A way simpler solution is to allocate a slightly larger bitmap and
avoid the whole churn w/o breaking anything. Add a few warnings when
an arch returns utter crap.
