x86: revert irq number limitation

Impact: fix MSIx not enough irq numbers available regression

The manual revert of the sparse_irq patches missed to bring the number
of possible irqs back to the .27 status. This resulted in a regression
when two multichannel network cards were placed in a system with only
one IO_APIC - causing the networking driver to not have the right
IRQ and the device not coming up.

Remove the dynamic allocation logic leftovers and simply return
NR_IRQS in probe_nr_irqs() for now.
