[PATCH] irqchip/gicv3: silence noisy DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS warning

gic_raise_softirq() walks the list of cpus using for_each_cpu(), it calls
gic_compute_target_list() which advances the iterator by the number of
CPUs in the cluster.

If gic_compute_target_list() reaches the last CPU it leaves the iterator
pointing at the last CPU. This means the next time round the for_each_cpu()
loop cpumask_next() will be called with an invalid CPU.

This triggers a warning when built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS:

Avoid updating the iterator if the next call to cpumask_next() would
cause the for_each_cpu() loop to exit.

There is no change to gic_raise_softirq()'s behaviour, (cpumask_next()s
eventual call to _find_next_bit() will return early as start >= nbits),
this patch just silences the warning.
