[RFC PATCH v2] genirq/cpuhotpug: notify of irq affinity change for offlined cpu.

From: Imran Khan
Date: Fri Jan 02 2026 - 11:53:51 EST


During cpu offlining the irqs with broken_affinity are affined
to other CPU but this affinity change is not accounted for by
desc::affinity_notify (if available).
This can leave users of irq_set_affinity_notifier, with old
affinity information.

v1 -> v2:
- Fix compilation error due to missed parenthesis around scoped_guard
