xa_store() doesn't fail if an entry is already present at the specified
index. It returns the old entry, which is why we have a vgic_put_irq()
on the "error" path.

Genuine error handling definitely is missing here, but that would only
happen if the xarray library failed to allocate (-ENOMEM) or if the
xarray itself is broken beyond repair (-EINVAL).

This was deliberately made a void return. The entire translation cache
is opportunistic and not required for functional correctness. Nothing
breaks if we fail to insert an entry for, say, a failed memory
allocation.

It would be extremely helpful if you could share the steps to reproduce
the error you observe.
