After commit e0d2c59ee995 ("genirq: Always limit the affinity to online
CPUs", 5.10) on Linux, the cpumask passed to irq_set_affinity of irqchip
driver is limited to online CPUs. When irq_do_set_affinity called from
otto timer driver with only one secondary CPU, that CPU is not marked as
online yet, filtered out by cpu_online_mask and fall to error path.
Then, fail to set affinity for that CPU and it leads to instability of
timer on secondary CPU(s).
At least, RTL839x system will be affected.

Replace to irq_force_affinity from irq_set_affinity and ignore
cpu_online_mask to fix the issue.
