[PATCH 4/8] powerpc irq: always free duplicate IRQ_LEGACY hosts

Since kmem caches are allocated before init_IRQ as noted in 3af259d155
(powerpc: Radix trees are available before init_IRQ), we now call
kmalloc in all cases and can can always call kfree if we are asked
to allocate a duplicate or conflicting IRQ_HOST_MAP_LEGACY host.
