When the irqaffinity= kernel parameter is passed in a CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
kernel, it fails to boot, because zalloc_cpumask_var() cannot be used before
initializing the slab allocator to allocate a cpumask.
So, use alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var() instead.
Also do some cleanups while at it: in init_irq_default_affinity() remove
an unnecessary #ifdef.
Change since v0:
* Fix build warning.

Patch created against -rc7 (commit 0b07194bb55ed836c2). I found tip had a merge
conflict, so used -rc7 instead.
