Subject: [PATCH v2 2/8] x86/irq: Track if IRQ was found in PIR during initial
 loop (to load PIR vals)

Track whether or not at least one IRQ was found in PIR during the initial
loop to load PIR chunks from memory.  Doing so generates slightly better
code (arguably) for processing the for-loop of XCHGs, especially for the
case where there are no pending IRQs.

Note, while PIR can be modified between the initial load and the XCHG, it
can only _gain_ new IRQs, i.e. there is no danger of a false positive due
to the final version of pir_copy[] being empty.

Opportunistically convert the boolean to an "unsigned long" and compute
the effective boolean result via bitwise-OR.  Some compilers, e.g.
clang-14, need the extra "hint" to elide conditional branches.

Opportunistically rename the variable in anticipation of moving the PIR
accesses to a common helper that can be shared by posted MSIs and KVM.
