Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic/msi: check interupt context before reporting warning

Affinity change can happen in both interrupt context and non-interrupt
context. The paranoia check for interrupt target cpu is not always true
in non-interrupt context.

For example:
  Set affinity for irq to CPU#7
  $ echo 80 > /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity

  Open serial port on different CPU.
  $taskset -c 4 agetty -L 115200 ttyS1

Will triger the following warning.

  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 765 at arch/x86/kernel/apic/msi.c:75 msi_set_affinity+0x16f/0x190

With this patch, the warning is only reported in interrupt context and when
the target CPU is not local CPU.
