xen/time: Don't leak interrupt name when offlining.
When the user does:
    echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
    echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

kmemleak reports:
kmemleak: 7 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

One of the leaks is from xen/time:

unreferenced object 0xffff88003fa51280 (size 32):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294667339 (age 1027.789s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

This patch fixes it by stashing away the 'name' in the per-cpu
data structure and freeing it when offlining the CPU.
