Subject: x86/irq: Call chip->irq_set_affinity in proper context

commit e23b257c293ce4bcc8cabb2aa3097b6ed8a8261a upstream.

setup_ioapic_dest() calls irqchip->irq_set_affinity() completely
unprotected. That's wrong in several aspects:

 - it opens a race window where irq_set_affinity() can be interrupted and the
   irq chip left in unconsistent state.

 - it triggers a lockdep splat when we fix the vector race for 4.3+ because
   vector lock is taken with interrupts enabled.

The proper calling convention is irq descriptor lock held and interrupts
disabled.
