The mapped parameter can be removed since it can be figured out by
checking 'hctx->tags'.

IMO, it isn't good to split it into two callback, such as,
map_activate/map_deactivate or other names, and the two callback
can't be symmetrical at all.  When CPU hotplug happened, it is just
the mapping changed, neigher setuping nor tearing down since it is
1:N mapping between hw queue and percpu sw queue.

So I suggest to keep it as .map_changed(), or do you have better idea?
