x86: skip migrating IRQF_PER_CPU irq in fixup_irqs

IRQF_PER_CPU marks a irq binding to a specific cpu, and can never be
moved away from that cpu. So it shouldn't be migrated when fixup irqs
to offline a cpu. Xen pvops guest is one source using IRQF_PER_CPU
on a set of virtual interrupts. Previously no error is observed 
because Xen event chip silently fails the set_affinity ops, and
logically IRQF_PER_CPU should be recognized here.
