[PATCH] powerpc/xive: Fix some incorrect memory allocation

'xibm->count' really looks like a number of bits (see how it is used in
__xive_irq_bitmap_alloc()), so use the bitmap API to allocate and free this
bitmap.

This improves semantic and potentially avoids some over memory allocation.

Fixes: eac1e731b59e ("powerpc/xive: guest exploitation of the XIVE interrupt controller")

I don't cross compile, so this patch is NOT compile-tested.
