It's exported because __irq_domain_add is exported. I didn't want to
just add a rarely-used extra argument to __irq_domain_add and the other
public APIs which call into it, and figured a separate setter function
was the simplest option.

I can rework to add the argument to __irq_domain_add if you prefer.

Or we can declare that restricted affinity *isn't* something that IRQ
domains provided by modules can have, and just not export the setter
function?
