[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/xive: Add a check for memory allocation failure

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.
