Subject: [PATCH] x86/vector: Merge the allocate_vector() into assign_vector_locked()

The assign_vector_locked() calls allocate_vector to get a real vector for
an IRQ. If the current target CPU is online and in the new requested
affinity mask, allocate_vector() will return 0 and nothing should be done.

But, the assign_vector_locked() always call the apic_update_irq_cfg(). it's
pointless.

Merge the two function to avoid this situation and make the code simplify.
