[Skiboot] [PATCH 1/6] xive: Mark a freed IRQ's IVE as valid and masked

Removing the valid bit means a FIR will trip if it's accessed
inadvertently. Under some circumstances, the XIVE will speculatively
access an IVE for a masked interrupt and trip it. So make sure that
freed entries are still marked valid (but masked).
