genirq: Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as search size in irq_alloc_descs()

The runtime expansion of nr_irqs does not take into account that
bitmap_find_next_zero_area() returns "start" + size in case the search
for an matching zero area fails. That results in a start value which
can be completely off and is not covered by the following
expand_nr_irqs() and possibly outside of the absolute limit. But we
use it without further checking.

Use IRQ_BITMAP_BITS as the limit for the bitmap search and expand
nr_irqs when the start bit is beyond nr_irqs. So start is always
pointing to the correct area in the bitmap. nr_irqs is just the limit
for irq enumerations, not the real limit for the irq space.

[ tglx: Let irq_expand_nr_irqs() take the new upper end so we do not
  	expand nr_irqs more than necessary. Made changelog readable ]
