Subject: [PATCH] genirq: Limit irq_calc_affinity_vectors to housekeeping CPUs

Replace the cpumask used in irq_calc_affinity_vectors from all possible
CPUs to only housekeeping CPUs.

When we have isolated CPUs used by real-time tasks, IRQs will be move to
housekeeping CPUs.

If there are too many IRQ vectors, moving the all to housekeeping CPUs may
exceed per-CPU vector limits. For example, when I only have two
housekeeping CPUs, there are dozens of IRQs on two CPUs, but actually one
IRQ per housekeeping CPU is enough.
