[PATCH] irqchip: GICv3: ITS: Allocate enough memory for the full range of DeviceID

The ITS table allocator is only allocating a single page per table.
This works fine for most things, but leads to silent lack of
interrupt delivery if we end-up with a device that has an ID that is
out of the range defined by a single page of memory. Even worse, depending
on the page size, behaviour changes, which is not a very good experience.

A solution is actually to allocate memory for the full range of ID that
the ITS supports. A massive waste memory wise, but at least a safe bet.

This patch has been tested on the Phytium SoC.
