[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/pseries: pass MSI affinity to irq_create_mapping()

With virtio multiqueue, normally each queue IRQ is mapped to a CPU.

But since commit 0d9f0a52c8b9f ("virtio_scsi: use virtio IRQ affinity")
this is broken on pseries.

The affinity is correctly computed in msi_desc but this is not applied
to the system IRQs.

It appears the affinity is correctly passed to rtas_setup_msi_irqs() but
lost at this point and never passed to irq_domain_alloc_descs()
(see commit 06ee6d571f0e ("genirq: Add affinity hint to irq allocation"))
because irq_create_mapping() doesn't take an affinity parameter.

As the previous patch has added the affinity parameter to
irq_create_mapping() we can forward the affinity from rtas_setup_msi_irqs()
to irq_domain_alloc_descs().

With this change, the virtqueues are correctly dispatched between the CPUs
on pseries.

This problem cannot be shown on x86_64 for two reasons:

- the call path traverses arch_setup_msi_irqs() that is arch specific:

   virtscsi_probe()
      virtscsi_init()
         vp_modern_find_vqs()
            vp_find_vqs()
               vp_find_vqs_msix()
                  pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()
                     __pci_enable_msix_range()
                        pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs()
                           arch_setup_msi_irqs()
                              rtas_setup_msi_irqs()
                                 irq_create_mapping()
                                    irq_domain_alloc_descs()
                                      __irq_alloc_descs()

- and x86_64 has CONFIG_PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN that uses another path:

   virtscsi_probe()
      virtscsi_init()
         vp_modern_find_vqs()
            vp_find_vqs()
               vp_find_vqs_msix()
                  pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()
                     __pci_enable_msix_range()
                        __msi_domain_alloc_irqs()
                           __irq_domain_alloc_irqs()
                              __irq_alloc_descs()
