Remove interrupt masking and just let the hard irq handler keep
firing for new events. This is less of a performance impact vs
the MMIO readback inside the pci_msi_{mask,unmas}_irq(). Especially
with a loaded system those flushes can be stuck behind large amounts
of MMIO writes to flush. When guest kernel is running on top of VFIO
mdev, mask/unmask causes a vmexit each time and is not desirable.
