Subject: [Patch v2] storvsc: setup 1:1 mapping between hardware queue and CPU queue

From: Long Li <longli@...rosoft.com>

storvsc doesn't use a dedicated hardware queue for a given CPU queue. When
issuing I/O, it selects returning CPU (hardware queue) dynamically based on
vmbus channel usage across all channels.

This patch advertises num_possible_cpus() as number of hardware queues. This
will have upper layer setup 1:1 mapping between hardware queue and CPU queue
and avoid unnecessary locking when issuing I/O.

Changes:
v2: rely on default upper layer function to map queues. (suggested by Ming Lei
<tom.leiming@...il.com>)
