irq/matrix: Spread managed interrupts on allocation
Linux spreads out the non managed interrupt across the possible target CPUs to avoid vector space exhaustion. Managed interrupts are treated differently, as for them the vectors are reserved (with guarantee) when the interrupt descriptors are initialized. When the interrupt is requested a real vector is assigned. The assignment logic uses the first CPU in the affinity mask for assignment. If the interrupt has more than one CPU in the affinity mask, which happens when a multi queue device has less queues than CPUs, then doing the same search as for non managed interrupts makes sense as it puts the interrupt on the least interrupt plagued CPU. For single CPU affine vectors that's obviously a NOOP. Restructre the matrix allocation code so it does the 'best CPU' search, add the sanity check for an empty affinity mask and adapt the call site in the x86 vector management code.
