powerpc/xive: Fix bogus error code returned by OPAL
There's a bug in skiboot that causes the OPAL_XIVE_ALLOCATE_IRQ call to return the 32-bit value 0xffffffff when OPAL has run out of IRQs. Unfortunatelty, OPAL return values are signed 64-bit entities and errors are supposed to be negative. If that happens, the linux code confusingly treats 0xffffffff as a valid IRQ number and panics at some point. A fix was recently merged in skiboot: e97391ae2bb5 ("xive: fix return value of opal_xive_allocate_irq()") but we need a workaround anyway to support older skiboots already in the field. Internally convert 0xffffffff to OPAL_RESOURCE which is the usual error returned upon resource exhaustion.
