pci_msix_alloc_irq_at() affinity

[Shay Drori <shayd@nvidia.com>]

Hello Thomas

I did some testing with pci_msix_alloc_irq_at() and I noticed that the
affinity provided, via “struct irq_affinity_desc *af_desc”, doesn’t have
any affect.

After some digging, I found out that irq_setup_affinity(), which is
called by request_irq(), is setting the affinity as all the CPUs online,
ignoring the affinity provided in pci_msix_alloc_irq_at().
Is this on purpose or a bug?

P.S. The bellow diff honors the affinity provided in
pci_msix_alloc_irq_at()
