The mask does not actually serve a useful purpose as we only use the SynIC
for timer messages. Dropping the mask means that the EOM MSR handler
essentially becomes a no-op. This means we can avoid setting 'message_pending'
for timer messages and hence avoid a VMEXIT for the EOM.

v2:
 - Clean up now extraneous comment noticed by Roger

This should hopefully simplify Roger's "x86/vlapic: implement EOI callbacks"
series a little.
