Hi Marc,

Please consider this flow:

- in its_irq_domain_activate()->its_select_cpu(), for a managed
interrupt we select the target cpu from the interrupt affin mask

- then in its_set_affinity() call for the same interrupt, we may
needlessly reselect the target cpu. This is because in the
its_set_affinity()->its_select_cpu() call, we account for that interrupt
in the load for the current target cpu, and may find a lesser loaded cpu
in the mask and switch.

For example, from mask 0-5 we select cpu0 initially. Then on the 2nd
call, we find cpu0 has a greater load (1) then cpu1 (0), and switch to cpu1.

Cheers,
John
