commit b56ebe7c upstream.

commit ef8dd015 ("genirq/msi: Make interrupt allocation less
convoluted"), reworked the code so that the x86 specific quirk for affinity
setting of non-maskable PCI/MSI interrupts is not longer activated if
necessary.

This could be solved by restoring the original logic in the core MSI code,
but after a deeper analysis it turned out that the quirk flag is not
required at all.

The quirk is only required when the PCI/MSI device cannot mask the MSI
interrupts, which in turn also prevents reservation mode from being enabled
for the affected interrupt.

This allows ot remove the NOMASK quirk bit completely as msi_set_affinity()
can instead check whether reservation mode is enabled for the interrupt,
which gives exactly the same answer.

Even in the momentary non-existing case that the reservation mode would be
not set for a maskable MSI interrupt this would not cause any harm as it
just would cause msi_set_affinity() to go needlessly through the
functionaly equivalent slow path, which works perfectly fine with maskable
interrupts as well.

Rework msi_set_affinity() to query the reservation mode and remove all
NOMASK quirk logic from the core code.
