genirq: Always force thread affinity



Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the
affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases:

 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before
    the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified.

 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to
    change its affinity.

 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving
    the thread either.

Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation
time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to
the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an
existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y)
