Commit 34c3d9819f ("genirq/affinity: Provide smarter irq spreading
infrastructure") introduced a better IRQ spreading mechanism, taking
account of the available NUMA nodes in the machine.
Problem is that the algorithm of retrieving the nodemask iterates
"linearly" based on the number of online nodes - some architectures
present non-linear node distribution among the nodemask, like PowerPC.
If this is the case, the algorithm lead to a wrong node count number
and therefore to a bad/incomplete IRQ affinity distribution.
For example, this problem were found in a machine with 128 CPUs and two
nodes, namely nodes 0 and 8 (instead of 0 and 1, if it was linearly
distributed). This led to a wrong affinity distribution which then led to
a bad mq allocation for nvme driver.
Finally, we take the opportunity to fix a comment regarding the affinity
distribution when we have _more_ nodes than vectors.

The reserved vectors at the beginning and the end of the vector space get
cpu_possible_mask assigned as their affinity mask.
All other non-auto affine interrupts get the default irq affinity mask
assigned. Using cpu_possible_mask breaks that rule.
Treat them like any other interrupt and use irq_default_affinity as target
mask.

The recent addition of reserved vectors at the beginning or the end of the
vector space did not take the reserved vectors at the beginning into
account for the various loop exit conditions. As a consequence the last
vectors of the spread area are not included into the spread algorithm and
are treated like the reserved vectors at the end of the vector space and
get the default affinity mask assigned.
Sum up the affinity vectors and the reserved vectors at the beginning and
use the sum as exit condition.

Only calculate the affinity for the main I/O vectors, and skip the
pre or post vectors specified by struct irq_affinity.
Also remove the irq_affinity cpumask argument that has never been used.
If we ever need it in the future we can pass it through struct
irq_affinity.

The current irq spreading infrastructure is just looking at a cpumask and
tries to spread the interrupts over the mask. Thats suboptimal as it does
not take numa nodes into account.
Change the logic so the interrupts are spread across numa nodes and inside
the nodes. If there are more cpus than vectors per node, then we set the
affinity to several cpus. If HT siblings are available we take that into
account and try to set all siblings to a single vector.

Without locking out CPU mask operations we might end up with an inconsistent
view of the cpumask in the function.
