Subject: [PATCH] [irqchip] mips-cpu: Add error handling in mips_cpu_register_ipi_domain

This patch enhances the mips_cpu_register_ipi_domain function in
drivers/irqchip/irq-mips-cpu.c by adding error handling for the kzalloc
call. Previously, the function lacked proper handling for kzalloc
failures, which could lead to potential null pointer dereference issues
under low memory conditions.
