Avoid looking for an existing mapping twice when creating a new mapping
using irq_create_fwspec_mapping() by factoring out the actual allocation
which is shared with irq_create_mapping_affinity().

This changelog is incomplete and it took me a while to figure out why
this is before the race fix.

The point is that you need __irq_create_mapping_affinity() later to fix
the shared mapping race. The double check avoidance is just a nice side
effect.

So please spell it out and make it clear that this needs to be
backported too, e.g. by adding:

The split out internal function will be used to fix a shared interrupt
mapping race. This change is therefore tagged with the same fixes tag.

Fixes: ....

Sure. It was originally part of the fix of the race, but I was told to
clean up the code first (and not worry about backporting).

I'll see what I can do about reordering these again with the aim of
making things easier to backport.

+static unsigned int __irq_create_mapping_affinity(struct irq_domain *domain,
+						  irq_hw_number_t hwirq,
+						  const struct irq_affinity_desc *affinity)

Please rename to irq_create_mapping_affinity_locked() so it's clear what
this is about and what the calling convention is. A lockdep assert to
that effect would be nice too.

Will do.
