Subject: [v6 4/8] iommu, x86: No need to migrating irq for VT-d Posted-Interrupts

We don't need to migrate the irqs for VT-d Posted-Interrupts here.
When 'pst' is set in IRTE, the associated irq will be posted to
guests instead of interrupt remapping. The destination of the
interrupt is set in Posted-Interrupts Descriptor, and the migration
happens during vCPU scheduling.

However, we still update the cached irte here, which can be used
when changing back to remapping mode.
