genirq/matrix: Prevent allocation counter corruption

When irq_matrix_free() is called for an unallocated vector the
managed_allocated and total_allocated counters get out of sync with the
real state of the matrix. Later, when the last interrupt is freed, these
counters will underflow resulting in UINTMAX because the counters are
unsigned.

While this is certainly a problem of the calling code, this can be catched
in the allocator by checking the allocation bit for the to be freed vector
which simplifies debugging.

An example of the problem described above:

Add the missing sanity check and emit a warning when it triggers.
