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.
