[PATCH 1/1][resend] irq: Maintain user set affinity

[Kumar Gala]

This addresses a regression in that if a user specified an affinity
for an interrupt that affinity information would get reset between
a request_irq(), free_irq() and request_irq() for the same irq.

On example of this is bringing up an ethernet interface, taking
it down and bringing it back up again.

Instead of always using the irq_default_affinity we use the
previous setting of the IRQs affinity with the assumption that
at boot the IRQs affinity will be set to irq_default_affinity.

reposting since the first patch I forgot to cull some header info from the
body of the emai.
