[PATCH v3] irqchip/gicv3-its: Avoid memory over allocation for ITEs

We are always allocating extra 255Bytes of memory to handle ITE
physical address alignment requirement. The kmalloc() satisfies
the ITE alignment since the ITS driver is requesting a minimum
size of ITS_ITT_ALIGN bytes.

Let's try to allocate the exact amount of memory that is required
for ITEs to avoid wastage.
