irq: allocate irq_desc_ptrs array based on nr_irqs

Impact: allocate irq_desc_ptrs in preparation for making it variable-sized.

This addresses this memory usage bump when NR_CPUS bumped from 128 to 4096:

    34816   +229376    264192  +658%  irq_desc_ptrs(.data.read_mostly)

The patch is split into two parts, the first simply allocates the
irq_desc_ptrs array.  Then next will deal with making it variable.
This is only when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS=y.
