As commented by irq_set_affinity() it "Fails if cpumask does not contain an online
 CPU" which means we passed an invalid input, I think which violiates the "Do not
use these macros when checking for invalid external inputs".

If we'd like to catch this failure information early maybe a dev_err() should be
enough to indicate this.

I think it's relevant (please correct me) as when I debug another pmu driver using
MSI interrupt[*], I found I'll trigger the WARN() in [2] if the interrupt is not
bind to the CPU which start trace. So I think it's required to handle the interrupt
on the same CPU start the trace otherwise the "context" is mismatched.
