genirq: Implement a sane sparse_irq allocator

The current sparse_irq allocator has several short comings due to
failures in the design or the lack of it:

 - Requires iteration over the number of active irqs to find a free slot
   (Some architectures have grown their own workarounds for this)
 - Removal of entries is not possible
 - Racy between create_irq_nr and destroy_irq (plugged by horrible
   callbacks)
 - Migration of active irq descriptors is not possible
 - No bulk allocation of irq ranges
 - Sprinkeled irq_desc references all over the place outside of kernel/irq/
   (The previous chip functions series is addressing this issue)

Implement a sane allocator which fixes the above short comings (though
migration of active descriptors needs a full tree wide cleanup of the
direct and mostly unlocked access to irq_desc).

The new allocator still uses a radix_tree, but uses a bitmap for
keeping track of allocated irq numbers. That allows:

 - Fast lookup of a free slot
 - Allows the removal of descriptors
 - Prevents the create/destroy race
 - Bulk allocation of consecutive irq ranges
 - Basic design is ready for migration of life descriptors after
   further cleanups

The bitmap is also used in the SPARSE_IRQ=n case for lookup and
raceless (de)allocation of irq numbers. So it removes the requirement
for looping through the descriptor array to find slots.

Right now it uses sparse_irq_lock to protect the bitmap and the radix
tree, but after cleaning up all users we should be able convert that
to a mutex and to switch the radix_tree and decriptor allocations to
GFP_KERNEL.
