x86/ioapic: Check attr against the previous setting when programmed more than once
When programming ioapic pinX more than once, current code does not check whether the later attr (trigger & polarity) is the same as the former or not. This causes broken semantics which can be observed in a qemu q35 machine, where ioapic's ioredtbl[x] can never be set as low-active, even if the hpet driver registered it. And hpet driver may share a high-level active IRQ line with other devices. So in qemu, when hpet-dev asserts low-level as kernel expects, the kernel has no response. With this patch, we can observe an ioredtbl[x] set as low-active for hpet. Fix it by reporting -EBUSY to the caller, when attr is different.
