You mean here do not introduce irq_alloc_descs_from, but rather use
irq_alloc_descs() directly?

It is not supposed. Just a quick check if there are enough bits before an
attempt to allocate memory in __create_irqs(). Otherwise __create_irqs()
might allocate irq_cfg's, then realize there are no bits, then deallocate
and fail.
But strictly speaking, irq_can_alloc_irqs() is unnecessary.
