Subject: [PATCH 4/5] genirq/affinity: irq vector spread among online CPUs as far as possible

84676c1f21 ("genirq/affinity: assign vectors to all possible CPUs")
may cause irq vector assigned to all offline CPUs, and this kind of
assignment may cause much less irq vectors mapped to online CPUs, and
performance may get hurt.

For example, in a 8 cores system, 0~3 online, 4~8 offline/not present,
see 'lscpu':

	[ming@box]$lscpu
	Architecture:          x86_64
	CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit
	Byte Order:            Little Endian
	CPU(s):                4
	On-line CPU(s) list:   0-3
	Thread(s) per core:    1
	Core(s) per socket:    2
	Socket(s):             2
	NUMA node(s):          2
	...
	NUMA node0 CPU(s):     0-3
	NUMA node1 CPU(s):
	...

For example, one device has 4 queues:

1) before 84676c1f21 ("genirq/affinity: assign vectors to all possible CPUs")
	irq 39, cpu list 0
	irq 40, cpu list 1
	irq 41, cpu list 2
	irq 42, cpu list 3

2) after 84676c1f21 ("genirq/affinity: assign vectors to all possible CPUs")
	irq 39, cpu list 0-2
	irq 40, cpu list 3-4,6
	irq 41, cpu list 5
	irq 42, cpu list 7

3) after applying this patch against V4.15+:
	irq 39, cpu list 0,4
	irq 40, cpu list 1,6
	irq 41, cpu list 2,5
	irq 42, cpu list 3,7

This patch tries to do irq vector spread among online CPUs as far as
possible by 2 stages spread.

The above assignment 3) isn't the optimal result from NUMA view, but it
returns more irq vectors with online CPU mapped, given in reality one CPU
should be enough to handle one irq vector, so it is better to do this way.
