Given that this isn't atomic and KVM only cares about ACTIVE, why not change
mask to be a single state only? Renumbering the states so that's not bits
would help to enforce this (i.e. make IRQ_FWD_STATE_ACTIVE 0, PENDING 1,
...).

That would also allow you to switch on the state and return early.

*and* you could peek GIC_DIST_ENABLE_SET in one place here.
