cpumask: fix bug in use cpumask_var_t in irq_desc
Impact: fix bug where new irq_desc uses old cpumask pointers which are freed.
As Yinghai pointed out, init_copy_one_irq_desc() copies the old desc to
the new desc overwriting the cpumask pointers. Since the old_desc and
the cpumask pointers are freed, then memory corruption will occur if
these old pointers are used.
Move the allocation of these pointers to after the copy.
