x86, irq: Remove IRQ_DISABLED check in process context IRQ move

Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process
context. One of the patches in the series did

disable_irq(dev->irq);
irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu));
enable_irq(dev->irq);

with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled
and moving the interrupt in process context.

IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET
code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there
when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a
blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code.

Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4ab622e3c99bd59f14cc
and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity
in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally.
