For irq status checking part, if irq status & irq mask is zero, remove
this checking and let it go down, it still do nothing because value &
CMDQ_THR_IRQ_ERROR is zero and value & CMDQ_THR_IRQ_DONE is zero. So you
can just remove this checking and get the same result.

In general HW design, once a HW is not enable, it does not trigger
interrupt any more. Be sure that it's necessary to clear irq status even
though thread is disable.
