Subject: [PATCH v3] x86, irq: get correct available vectors for cpu disable

used_vectors is a bitmap for vectors that are not tracked in per_cpu
vector_irq.
used_vectors contains information on the first 32 exceptions, the system vectors.
the IA32_SYSCALL_VECTOR (0x80), and the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR (0x20).

assign_irq_vectors() assigns vectors up to first_system_vector and
it will not use vectors that are set used_vectors.

This patch modifies the code to scan up to first_system_vector
and do a test on the used_vectors bitmap.

So count avaiable vectors correctly.

-v2: fix compiling problem.
-v3: update changelog and commets
