Subject: xen/x86: actually allocate legacy interrupts on PV guests

From: Stefano Stabellini <[email protected]>

commit 702f926067d2a4b28c10a3c41a1172dd62d9e735 upstream.

b4ff8389ed14 is incomplete: relies on nr_legacy_irqs() to get the number of legacy interrupts when actually nr_legacy_irqs() returns 0 after probe_8259A(). Use NR_IRQS_LEGACY instead.
