genirq: Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as search size in irq_alloc_descs()
The runtime expansion of nr_irqs does not take into account that bitmap_find_next_zero_area() returns "start" + size in case the search for an matching zero area fails. That results in a start value which can be completely off and is not covered by the following expand_nr_irqs() and possibly outside of the absolute limit. But we use it without further checking. Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as the limit for the bitmap search and expand nr_irqs when the start bit is beyond nr_irqs. So start is always pointing to the correct area in the bitmap. nr_irqs is just the limit for irq enumerations, not the real limit for the irq space. [ tglx: Let irq_expand_nr_irqs() take the new upper end so we do not expand nr_irqs more than necessary.
