Pass is_running here is rather weird.  Given that this is the only call site
that originates outside of the IOMMU driver, what if the exported
amd_iommu_activate_guest_mode() is a wrapper to an internal API and hardcodes
is_running=true?  Then the internal path via irq_set_vcpu_affinity() can pass
an actual variable.
