This line looks weird. Why counter will be increased once the irq has
action? Do you mean

if (irq_has_action(irq) && !irqd_is_per_cpu(data) &&
    !cpumask_subset(affinity, cpu_online_mask))

It looks like cpu_online_mask will be updated until cpu_disable_common
is called, but your check_vectors is called before that.
