generic: add dyn_array support

Allow crazy big arrays via bootmem at init stage.
Architectures use CONFIG_HAVE_DYN_ARRAY to enable it.

usage:

| static struct irq_desc irq_desc_init __initdata = {
|        .status = IRQ_DISABLED,
|        .chip = &no_irq_chip,
|        .handle_irq = handle_bad_irq,
|        .depth = 1,
|        .lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(irq_desc->lock),
| #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
|        .affinity = CPU_MASK_ALL
| #endif
| };
|
| static void __init init_work(void *data)
| {
|        struct dyn_array *da = data;
|        struct  irq_desc *desc;
|        int i;
|
|        desc = *da->name;
|
|        for (i = 0; i < *da->nr; i++)
|                memcpy(&desc[i], &irq_desc_init, sizeof(struct irq_desc));
| }
|
| struct irq_desc *irq_desc;
| DEFINE_DYN_ARRAY(irq_desc, sizeof(struct irq_desc), nr_irqs, PAGE_SIZE, init_work);

after pre_alloc_dyn_array() after setup_arch(), the array is ready to be
used.

Via this facility we can replace irq_desc[NR_IRQS] array with dyn_array
irq_desc[nr_irqs].

v2: remove _nopanic in pre_alloc_dyn_array()
