From: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>

The backport of upstream patch 25da4618af240fbec61 ("xen/events: don't
unmask an event channel when an eoi is pending") introduced a
regression for stable kernels 5.10 and older: setting IRQ affinity for
IRQs related to interdomain events would no longer work, as moving the
IRQ to its new cpu was not included in the irq_ack callback for those
events.

Fix that by adding the needed call.

Note that kernels 5.11 and later don't need the explicit moving of the
IRQ to the target cpu in the irq_ack callback, due to a rework of the
affinity setting in kernel 5.11.
