x86: Fix interrupt leak due to migration

When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the
move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not
being used.  If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors
become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes
the interrupt to become unusable.

This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an
MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded
and reloaded repeatedly.
