If a kernel context is initialised and does not have any AFU interrupts
allocated it will cause a NULL pointer dereference when the context is
detached since the irq_names list will not have been initialised.

Move the initialisation of the irq_names list into the cxl_context_init
routine so that it will be valid for the entire lifetime of the context
and will not cause a NULL pointer dereference.
