x86/vector: Remove warning on managed interrupt migration

The vector management code assumes that managed interrupts cannot be
migrated away from an online CPU. free_moved_vector() has a WARN_ON_ONCE()
which triggers when a managed interrupt vector association on a online CPU
is cleared. The CPU offline code uses a different mechanism which cannot
trigger this.

This assumption is not longer correct because the new CPU isolation feature
which affects the placement of managed interrupts must be able to move a
managed interrupt away from an online CPU.

There are two reasons why this can happen:

  1) When the interrupt is activated the affinity mask which was
     established in irq_create_affinity_masks() is handed in to
     the vector allocation code. This mask contains all CPUs to which
     the interrupt can be made affine to, but this does not take the
     CPU isolation 'managed_irq' mask into account.

     When the interrupt is finally requested by the device driver then the
     affinity is checked again and the CPU isolation 'managed_irq' mask is
     taken into account, which moves the interrupt to a non-isolated CPU if
     possible.

  2) The interrupt can be affine to an isolated CPU because the
     non-isolated CPUs in the calculated affinity mask are not online.

     Once a non-isolated CPU which is in the mask comes online the
     interrupt is migrated to this non-isolated CPU

In both cases the regular online migration mechanism is used which triggers
the WARN_ON_ONCE() in free_moved_vector().

Case #1 could have been addressed by taking the isolation mask into
account, but that would require a massive code change in the activation
logic and the eventual migration event was accepted as a reasonable
tradeoff when the isolation feature was developed. But even if #1 would be
addressed, #2 would still trigger it.

Of course the warning in free_moved_vector() was overlooked at that time
and the above two cases which have been discussed during patch review have
obviously never been tested before the final submission.

So keep it simple and remove the warning.
