The expected build failure is obvious from reading the code:

#ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS
void early_init_irq_lock_class(void)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ
struct irq_desc *desc;
int i;

for_each_irq_desc(i, desc) {
if (!desc)
continue;

lockdep_set_class(&desc->lock, &irq_desc_lock_class);

Note that it's an #ifndef sparseirq, not an #ifdef sparseirq condition.
