Subject: virtio_pci: Clear stale cpumask when setting irq affinity

From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]>

commit 210d150e1f5da506875e376422ba31ead2d49621 upstream.

The cpumask vp_dev->msix_affinity_masks[info->msix_vector] may contain staled information when vp_set_vq_affinity() gets called, so clear it before setting the new cpu bit mask.
