[PATCH] ARM: hotplug: ensure that we copy the affinity mask when migrating IRQs

When a CPU is hotplugged off, we migrate any IRQs currently affine to it
away and onto another online CPU by calling the irq_set_affinity function
of the relevant interrupt controller chip. This function returns either
IRQ_SET_MASK_OK or IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY, to indicate whether
irq_data.affinity was updated. In the case of the former, the migration
code should update the mask itself, as is done by irq_set_affinity.

The current code does not update affinity mask and potentially leaves
/proc/irq/n/smp_affinity identifying an offline CPU, which confuses
userspace IRQ balancing daemons.

This patch updates migrate_one_irq to copy the affinity mask when
the interrupt chip returns IRQ_SET_MASK_OK after changing the affinity
of an interrupt.
