genirq/cpuhotplug: Handle managed IRQs on CPU hotplug



If a CPU goes offline, interrupts affine to the CPU are moved away. If the
outgoing CPU is the last CPU in the affinity mask the migration code breaks
the affinity and sets it it all online cpus.

This is a problem for affinity managed interrupts as CPU hotplug is often
used for power management purposes. If the affinity is broken, the
interrupt is not longer affine to the CPUs to which it was allocated.

The affinity spreading allows to lay out multi queue devices in a way that
they are assigned to a single CPU or a group of CPUs. If the last CPU goes
offline, then the queue is not longer used, so the interrupt can be
shutdown gracefully and parked until one of the assigned CPUs comes online
again.

Add a graceful shutdown mechanism into the irq affinity breaking code path,
mark the irq as MANAGED_SHUTDOWN and leave the affinity mask unmodified.

In the online path, scan the active interrupts for managed interrupts and
if the interrupt is functional and the newly online CPU is part of the
affinity mask, restart the interrupt if it is marked MANAGED_SHUTDOWN or if
the interrupts is started up, try to add the CPU back to the effective
affinity mask.
