Commit ce0d3c0a6fb1 ("genirq: Revert sparse irq locking around

introduced by commit a89941816726 ("hotplug: Prevent alloc/free
of irq descriptors during cpu up/down") because of Xen allocating
irqs in both of its cpu_up ops.

We can move those allocations into CPU notifiers so that original
patch can be reinstated.
Original being "hotplug: Prevent alloc/free..." ?

Yes.

xen_uninit_lock_cpu ?

I don't think this is needed: we initialize lock in CPU_ONLINE notifier which can only be called after CPU_UP_CANCELED would have run (in which case we'll never do CPU_ONLINE)
