VFIO: platform: test forward state when selecting IRQ handler

In case the IRQ is forwarded, the VFIO platform IRQ handler does not
need to disable the IRQ anymore.

When setting the IRQ handler we now also test the forwarded state. In
case the IRQ is forwarded we select the edge handler (no automaske).

v2 -> v3:
- forwarded state was tested in the handler. Now the forwarded state
  is tested before setting the handler. This definitively limits
  the dynamics of forwarded state changes but I don't think there is
  a use case where we need to be able to change the state at any time.
user space can change this by calling the VFIO_IRQ_SET_ACTION_TRIGGER
whenever it wants, right?
yes the user can set/unset the VFIO signaling (and request_irq/free_irq)
using VFIO_IRQ_SET_ACTION_TRIGGER. In this new version I do not allow
changing the forwarded state when the handler is attached (request_irq).

Does it answer your interrogation?

Best Regards

Eric
