[RFC v2 4/9] VFIO: platform: handler tests whether the IRQ is forwarded

In case the IRQ is forwarded, the VFIO platform IRQ handler does not
need to disable the IRQ anymore. In that mode, when the handler completes
the IRQ is not deactivated but only its priority is lowered.

Some other actor (typically a guest) is supposed to deactivate the IRQ,
allowing at that time a new physical IRQ to hit.

In virtualization use case, the physical IRQ is automatically completed
by the interrupt controller when the guest completes the corresponding
virtual IRQ.
