Subject: [PATCH] make blk_mq_map_queues more friendly for cpu topology

under virtual machine environment, cpu topology may differ
from normal physical server.

for example (machine with 4 cores, 2 threads per core):

normal physical server:
core-id   thread-0-id  thread-1-id
0         0            4
1         1            5
2         2            6
3         3            7

virtual machine:
core-id   thread-0-id  thread-1-id
0         0            1
1         2            3
2         4            5
3         6            7

If we attach disk with multi queues to virtual machine,
blk_mq_map_queues can cause serious imbalance.this will lead to
performance impact on system IO.

Here is the qemu cmdline:
"-smp 8,sockets=1,cores=8,threads=2"
"-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive0,id=device0,num-queues=4,vectors=2"

when vectors less than num-queues, virtio-blk will fallback to
blk_mq_map_queues

Before this patch:
[root@...-mq ~]# cat /sys/block/vd*/mq/*/cpu_list
0, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13
1
2, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15
3

After this patch:
[root@...-mq ~]# cat /sys/block/vd*/mq/*/cpu_list
0, 1, 8, 9
2, 3, 10, 11
4, 5, 12, 13
6, 7, 14, 15
