genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq thread
irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might
sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held
and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has
another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required
by set_cpus_allowed_ptr().
Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time
the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems
nicely.
Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.
