Subject: [PATCH 3/7] activate_mapping: avoid use-after-free when affinity
 cannot be set

add_banned_irq appends the irq_info to the banned_irqs list.
remove_one_irq_from_db removes it from the interrupts_db and free()s it.

This leaves an invalid pointer dangling in banned_irqs *and* potentially
in rebalance_irq_list which can cause use-after-free errors.

Do not move the irq_info around. Only add a flag to indicate that this
irq's affinity cannot be managed and ignore the irq when this flag is
set.

Fixes: 55c5c321c73e ("arm64: Add irq aff change check For aarch64...")
