Subject: [PATCH] Avoid repeated affinity checks when no change is necessary
An IRQ may be migrated several times during one loop iteration, and end
up with the same CPU affinity mask as before - the "moved" flag is merely
a hint a affinity change may be necessary. This notably also happens
during initial placement, but may happen also anytime later.
To avoid visiting each IRQ again and again unset the "moved" flag. This
avoids the open/stat/read/close syscalls for unchanged interrupts.
Fixes: #285
