Subject: [PATCH V4 6/6] blk-mq: Build default queue map via group_cpus_evenly()

The default queue mapping builder of blk_mq_map_queues doesn't take NUMA
topo into account, so the built mapping is pretty bad, since CPUs
belonging to different NUMA node are assigned to same queue. It is
observed that IOPS drops by ~30% when running two jobs on same hctx
of null_blk from two CPUs belonging to two NUMA nodes compared with
from same NUMA node.

Address the issue by reusing group_cpus_evenly() for building queue
mapping since group_cpus_evenly() does group cpus according to CPU/NUMA
locality.

Also performance data becomes more stable with this patchset given
correct queue mapping is applied wrt. numa locality viewpoint, for
example, on one two nodes arm64 machine with 160 cpus, node 0(cpu 0~79),
node 1(cpu 80~159):

1) modprobe null_blk nr_devices=1 submit_queues=2

2) run 'fio(t/io_uring -p 0 -n 4 -r 20 /dev/nullb0)', and observe that
IOPS becomes much stable on multiple tests:

- without patched: IOPS is 2.5M ~ 4.5M
- patched: IOPS is 4.3 ~ 5M

Lots of drivers may benefit from the change, such as nvme pci poll,
nvme tcp, ...
