This fixes the lost xhci interrupt for me.
Before this patch a msi interupt was lost after ~200 cycles of toggling CPUs
offline/online under heavy usb traffic.

With this patch I ran 3x2000 cycles without any issues (Comet lake, patch on top of 5.8)
Tried both with and without CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP. No issues seen.
