Subject: [PATCH 1/1] scsi: storvsc: Spread interrupts when picking a channel
 for I/O requests

Update the algorithm in storvsc_do_io to look for a channel
starting with the current CPU + 1 and wrap around (within the
current NUMA node). This spreads VMbus interrupts more evenly
across CPUs. Previous code always started with first CPU in
the current NUMA node, skewing the interrupt load to that CPU.
