xen/events: Use immediate affinity setting



There is absolutely no reason to mimic the x86 deferred affinity
setting. This mechanism is required to handle the hardware induced issues
of IO/APIC and MSI and is not in use when the interrupts are remapped.

XEN does not need this and can simply change the affinity from the calling
context. The core code invokes this with the interrupt descriptor lock held
so it is fully serialized against any other operation.

Mark the interrupts with IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT to disable the deferred affinity
setting. The conditional mask/unmask operation is already handled in
xen_rebind_evtchn_to_cpu().

This makes XEN on x86 use the same mechanics as on e.g. ARM64 where
deferred affinity setting is not required and not implemented and the code
path in the ack functions is compiled out.
