scsi: mpt3sas: avoid out-of-bounds cpumask_of_node() call in _base_assign_reply_queues()

dev_to_node() can return NUMA_NO_NODE (-1) on systems without NUMA
topology information for the PCI device, such as single-socket
boards that don't expose device-to-node affinity. Fall back to
cpu_online_mask when no NUMA node is available, rather than assuming
dev_to_node() always returns a valid node index.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but incorrect subtraction in the
fall_back path causes unassigned CPUs in the msix table and a potential
divide by zero.

In _base_assign_reply_queues(), the calculation evaluates incorrectly:

drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c:_base_assign_reply_queues() {
...
fall_back:
	cpu = cpumask_first(cpu_online_mask);
	nr_msix -= (ioc->high_iops_queues - iopoll_q_count);
	index = 0;

	list_for_each_entry(reply_q, &ioc->reply_queue_list, list) {
		unsigned int i, group = nr_cpus / nr_msix;
...
}

If iopoll_q_count > 0, the calculation nr_msix -= (ioc->high_iops_queues -
iopoll_q_count) evaluates to nr_msix - high_iops_queues + iopoll_q_count.

This mathematically adds iopoll_q_count instead of subtracting it, inflating
nr_msix. This causes group = nr_cpus / nr_msix to calculate a smaller group
size, leaving trailing CPUs mapped to vector 0.

Furthermore, if PCI MSI-X allocation limits nr_msix to exactly
high_iops_queues (e.g. system interrupt limits), nr_msix evaluates to 0.

This would trigger a hardware divide-by-zero exception when evaluating
nr_cpus / nr_msix.

Is it possible to rewrite this subtraction to avoid inflating nr_msix and
prevent a potential divide-by-zero?
