Of course, what was I thinking?:)

As a result of this comment, I took a closer look at the code to
determine the reason for eliminating the matrix_mdev
parameter. The reason is because the code below (i.e., find the device
and get the driver data) was also repeated in the vfio_ap_irq_disable_apqn()
function, so I replaced it with a call to the function above; however, the
vfio_ap_irq_disable_apqn() function  does not have a reference to the
matrix_mdev, so I eliminated the matrix_mdev parameter. Note that the
vfio_ap_irq_disable_apqn() is called for each APQN assigned to a matrix
mdev, so there is no need to test the bitmasks there.

The other place from which the function above is called is
the handle_pqap() function which does have a reference to the
matrix_mdev. In order to ensure the integrity of the instruction
being intercepted - i.e., PQAP(AQIC) enable/disable IRQ for aN
AP queue - the testing of the matrix bitmasks probably ought to
be performed, so it will be done there instead of in the
vfio_ap_get_queue() function above.
