[PATCH v2 2/2] irqchip/riscv-aplic: Apply pending affinity changes for level MSI sources

IMSIC rejects an affinity change with -EBUSY while a previous vector
move is still in flight, and the IRQ core then records the new mask as
pending. The change is applied by irq_move_irq() in the IMSIC irq_ack
callback, but level-triggered APLIC MSI interrupts are handled by
handle_fasteoi_irq(), which never calls irq_ack.

The pending change is therefore never applied. While it is pending,
later affinity changes only update the pending mask, so the interrupt
stays on its old CPU.

Use handle_fasteoi_ack_irq() for level-triggered sources. It acks the
interrupt before invoking the handler, so a pending affinity change is
applied on the next interrupt, and the EOI retrigger then targets the
new CPU.
