When restoring a pending interrupt, we are setting the Q bit to force
a retrigger in xive_finish_unmask(). But we also need to force an EOI
in this case to reach the same initial state : P=3D1, Q=3D0.

This can be done by not setting 'old_p' for pending interrupts which
will inform xive_finish_unmask() that an EOI needs to be sent.

We really need this patch to fix VM migration on POWER9.
When will it be merged?

Paul is away, so I'll merge it via the powerpc tree.

I'll mark it:
