Jagannathan Raman aa7528fe35 iommu/vt-d: Fix usage of force parameter in intel_ir_reconfigure_irte()
It was noticed that the IRTE configured for guest OS kernel
was over-written while the guest was running. As a result,
vt-d Posted Interrupts configured for the guest are not being
delivered directly, and instead bounces off the host. Every
interrupt delivery takes a VM Exit.

It was noticed that the following stack is doing the over-write:
[  147.463177]  modify_irte+0x171/0x1f0
[  147.463405]  intel_ir_set_affinity+0x5c/0x80
[  147.463641]  msi_domain_set_affinity+0x32/0x90
[  147.463881]  irq_do_set_affinity+0x37/0xd0
[  147.464125]  irq_set_affinity_locked+0x9d/0xb0
[  147.464374]  __irq_set_affinity+0x42/0x70
[  147.464627]  write_irq_affinity.isra.5+0xe1/0x110
[  147.464895]  proc_reg_write+0x38/0x70
[  147.465150]  __vfs_write+0x36/0x180
[  147.465408]  ? handle_mm_fault+0xdf/0x200
[  147.465671]  ? _cond_resched+0x15/0x30
[  147.465936]  vfs_write+0xad/0x1a0
[  147.466204]  SyS_write+0x52/0xc0
[  147.466472]  do_syscall_64+0x74/0x1a0
[  147.466744]  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

reversing the sense of force check in intel_ir_reconfigure_irte()
restores proper posted interrupt functionality

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
