[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/pseries/msi: Fix potential underflow and leak issue

pseries_irq_domain_alloc() allocates interrupts at parent's interrupt
domain. If it fails in the progress, all allocated interrupts are
freed.

The number of successfully allocated interrupts so far is stored
"i". However, "i - 1" interrupts are freed. This is broken:

  - One interrupt is not be freed

  - If "i" is zero, "i - 1" wraps around

Correct the number of freed interrupts to 'i'.
