s390/pci: add error cleanup in zpci_directed_irq_init

This commit adds an error cleanup path to zpci_directed_irq_init to release
airq_iv resources if per-CPU allocation fails, preventing a memory leak.

[Severity: High]
Does this new error path introduce a potential DMA use-after-free?

Just before the allocation of zpci_ibv, the hardware is configured with the
physical address of zpci_sbv->vector:

arch/s390/pci/pci_irq.c:zpci_directed_irq_init() {
    ...
    iib.diib.disb_addr = virt_to_phys(zpci_sbv->vector);
    zpci_set_irq_ctrl(SIC_IRQ_MODE_DIRECT, 0, &iib);

    zpci_ibv = kzalloc_objs(*zpci_ibv, num_possible_cpus());
    if (!zpci_ibv)
        goto out_free_sbv;
    ...
}

If we jump to out_free_sbv and free zpci_sbv via airq_iv_release(zpci_sbv)
without resetting the hardware configuration first, could the adapter
corrupt memory by writing to the freed physical page during a spurious
interrupt?

Would it make sense to either defer the zpci_set_irq_ctrl() hardware
configuration until all software allocations succeed, or unregister the
hardware in the out_free_sbv error path?
