Ming Lei b1a5a73e64 genirq/affinity: Spread vectors on node according to nr_cpu ratio
Now __irq_build_affinity_masks() spreads vectors evenly per node, but there
is a case that not all vectors have been spread when each numa node has a
different number of CPUs which triggers the warning in the spreading code.

Improve the spreading algorithm by

 - assigning vectors according to the ratio of the number of CPUs on a node
   to the number of remaining CPUs.

 - running the assignment from smaller nodes to bigger nodes to guarantee
   that every active node gets allocated at least one vector.

This ensures that all vectors are spread out. Asided of that the spread
becomes more fair if the nodes have different number of CPUs.

For example, on the following machine:
	CPU(s):              16
	On-line CPU(s) list: 0-15
	Thread(s) per core:  1
	Core(s) per socket:  8
	Socket(s):           2
	NUMA node(s):        2
	...
	NUMA node0 CPU(s):   0,1,3,5-9,11,13-15
	NUMA node1 CPU(s):   2,4,10,12

When a driver requests to allocate 8 vectors, the following spread results:

	irq 31, cpu list 2,4
	irq 32, cpu list 10,12
	irq 33, cpu list 0-1
	irq 34, cpu list 3,5
	irq 35, cpu list 6-7
	irq 36, cpu list 8-9
	irq 37, cpu list 11,13
	irq 38, cpu list 14-15

So Node 0 has now 6 and Node 1 has 2 vectors assigned. The original
algorithm assigned 4 vectors on each node which was unfair versus Node 0.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
