Subject: [PATCH V5 1/2] genirq/affinity: Improve __irq_build_affinity_masks()

One invariant of __irq_build_affinity_masks() is that all CPUs in the
specified masks( cpu_mask AND node_to_cpumask for each node) should be
covered during the spread. Even though all requested vectors have been
reached, we still need to spread vectors among remained CPUs. The similar
policy has been taken in case of 'numvecs <= nodes' already:

So remove the following check inside the loop:

	if (done >= numvecs)
		break;

Meantime assign at least 1 vector for remained nodes if 'numvecs' vectors
have been handled already.

Also, if the specified cpumask for one numa node is empty, simply not
spread vectors on this node.
