Subject: x86/irq: Copy vectormask instead of an AND operation

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 9ac15b7a8af4cf3337a101498c0ed690d23ade75 upstream.

In the case that the new vector mask is a subset of the existing mask there is
no point to do a AND operation of currentmask & newmask. The result is
newmask. So we can simply copy the new mask to the current mask and be done
with it. Preparatory patch for further consolidation.
