[PATCH 05/12] PCI: xgene-msi: Make per-CPU interrupt setup robust

The way the per-CPU interrupts are dealt with in the XGene MSI
driver isn't great:

- the affinity is set after the interrupt is enabled

- nothing prevents userspace from moving the interrupt around

- the affinity setting code pointlessly allocates memory

- the driver checks for conditions that cannot possibly happen

Address all of this in one go, resulting in slightly simpler setup
code.
