Subject: [PATCH RFC 03/12] genirq: Implement dynamic migration for Managed
 IRQs

Support dynamic reconfiguration of CPU isolation by making the managed
interrupts responsive to housekeeping mask changes at runtime.

1. Register a housekeeping notifier in the genirq subsystem to listen
   for HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ updates.
2. Iterate through all active interrupts when a mask update occurs.
3. Re-apply affinity for managed interrupts to ensure they honor the
   newly configured housekeeping mask.
4. Use irq_set_affinity_locked() to trigger migration away from newly
   isolated CPUs or towards newly designated housekeeping CPUs.
