irq/irq_domain: Quit ignoring error returns from irq_alloc_desc_from().
In commit 4bbdd45a (irq_domain/powerpc: eliminate irq_map; use irq_alloc_desc() instead) code was added that ignores error returns from irq_alloc_desc_from() by (silently) casting the return value to unsigned. The negitive value error return now suddenly looks like a valid irq number. Commits cc79ca69 (irq_domain: Move irq_domain code from powerpc to kernel/irq) and 1bc04f2c (irq_domain: Add support for base irq and hwirq in legacy mappings) move this code to its current location in irqdomain.c The result of all of this is a null pointer dereference OOPS if one of the error cases is hit. The fix: Don't cast away the negativeness of the return value and then check for errors.
