Okay, how about,
                        if (irq_has_action(irq) && !irqd_is_per_cpu(data) &&
                            ((!cpumask_empty(&affinity_new)) &&
                              !cpumask_subset(&affinity_new, &online_new)) ||
                             cpumask_empty(&affinity_new))
                                this_count++;

I tried this with the following examples and AFAICT I get the correct result:

1) affinity mask = online mask = 0xf.  CPU 3 (1000b) is down'd.

this_count is not incremented.

2) affinity mask is a non-zero subset of the online mask (which IMO is
the "typical" case).  For example, affinity_mask = 0x9, online mask = 0xf.  CPU
3 is again down'd.

this_count is not incremented.

3) affinity_mask = 0x1, online mask = 0x3. (this is your example).  CPU
1 is going down.

this_count is incremented, as the resulting affinity mask will be 0.

4) affinity_mask = 0x0, online mask = 0x7.  CPU 1 is going down.

this_count is incremented, as the affinity mask is 0.
