The result of this kzalloc is not checked. Add a check and corresponding
error handling code.

Note that 'xive_irq_bitmap_add()' failures are not handled in
'xive_spapr_init()'
I guess that it is not really an issue. This function is _init, so if a
memory allocation occures here, it is likely that the system will
already be in bad shape.
Anyway, the check added here would at least keep the data linked in
'xive_irq_bitmaps' usable.

Hmm not sure... The allocation could also fail if the "ibm,xive-lisn-ranges"
property contains an insanely big range, eg. count == 1 << 31. The system isn't
necessarily in bad shape in this case, but XIVE is definitely unusable and
we should let a chance to the kernel to switch to XICS in this case.

I guess it is worth adding proper error handling in xive_spapr_init() as well.
