Is this scenario possible in real life? We unmask all the interrupts during
power_up and later mask the interrupts specific to channels when they are
started. So I do not see a possibility where the CHDB status would be set for an
unmasked channel.

Looking at the code now, I think we can get rid of the mask check, even the
local copy of mask if there is a guarantee that doorbell interrupts won't be
enabled behind the back of the MHI stack.

IIRC, I added the mask check as the HW channel interrupts were enabled behind
the back. But that was fixed with all unmask during power_up and mask only
started channels strategy.

PS: The term "mask" is horribly used in an inverted manner in MHI.
