[PATCH] irqchip/gic-v4.1: Disallow setting affinity for virtual SGIs

[Zenghui Yu <yuzenghui@huawei.com>]

Running a guest on the GICv4.1-implemented board, we will get the
following warning:

[   59.062120] genirq: irq_chip GICv4.1-sgi did not update eff. affinity mask of irq 46

It may be caused by irqbalance (or other userspace tools) which tries to
change the affinity of virtual SGIs on the host. One way to "fix" it is
to update the effective_affinity value in irq_set_affinity callback. But
as the comment above says, "There is no notion of affinity for virtual
SGIs, at least not on the host", doing so only makes things confusing.

Given the vSGIs are private to the specified vPE, changing the affinity
on host is actually meaningless and achieves nothing. Let's just forbid
it.

Hi Marc,

This just restores the behavior of your v5 [*]. I wonder that what's the
reason to change it to 'return IRQ_SET_MASK_OK' in v6? What I've missed
here?

Thanks.
