Subject: Resend: [PATCH] x86: eliminate pointless adjustment attempts
	 in fixup_irqs()

Not only when an IRQ's affinity equals cpu_online_mask is there no
need to actually try to adjust the affinity, but also when it's a
subset thereof. This particularly avoids adjustment attempts during
system shutdown to any IRQs bound to CPU#0.
