irqchip/msi-lib: Honour the MSI_FLAG_NO_AFFINITY flag

Bad MSI implementations multiplex MSIs onto a single downstream interrupt,
meaning they have no concept of individual affinity.

The old MSI code did a reasonable job at this by honouring the
MSI_FLAG_NO_AFFINITY, but the new shiny device MSI code doesn't.

Teach it about the sad reality of existing hardware.
