Impact: fix bug with irq-descriptor moving when logical flat

Eric pointed out that desc->affinity should be what the user requested,
if it is at all possible to honor the user space request.
This bug got introduced by commit 22f65d31b "x86: Update io_apic.c to use
new cpumask API".
Fix it by moving the masking to before the descriptor moving ...
