[PATCH v15 7/8] genirq/affinity: Restrict managed IRQ affinity to housekeeping CPUs

[Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@atomlin.com>]

At present, the managed interrupt spreading algorithm distributes vectors
across all available CPUs within a given node or system. On systems
employing CPU isolation (e.g., "isolcpus=io_queue"), this behaviour
defeats the primary purpose of isolation by routing hardware interrupts
(such as NVMe completion queues) directly to isolated cores.

Update irq_create_affinity_masks() to respect the housekeeping CPU mask.
By passing the HK_TYPE_IO_QUEUE mask directly to the topological
distribution function (group_mask_cpus_evenly()), we ensure that managed
interrupts are kept strictly off isolated CPUs.

This patch additionally addresses the architectural constraints of
restricted vector distribution:

    1.  Vector Limits and Overrides: Updated irq_calc_affinity_vectors()
        to strictly bound the maximum number of allocated vectors to the
        weight of the housekeeping mask. This correctly overrides
        drivers providing a calc_sets() callback, preventing them from
        wasting memory on dead hardware queues that cannot be routed to
        isolated CPUs.

    2.  Multi-set Alignment and Leak Prevention: When isolation
        constraints result in fewer available masks than requested
        vectors for a given set, the remaining vector slots are padded
        with the housekeeping mask. This replaces the historical
        irq_default_affinity padding, ensuring excess managed queues do
        not leak interrupts onto isolated CPUs.

    3.  Minimum Vector Safety Net: To prevent fatal -ENOSPC device probe
        aborts on heavily isolated systems (where the housekeeping CPU
        count might be lower than a device's structural minimum), the
        final vector calculation is safeguarded to never drop below
        minvec. Queues will safely share the available housekeeping CPUs
        instead of failing the probe.

    4.  Zero Overhead: The housekeeping mask is conditionally assigned
        via a direct pointer, completely avoiding temporary mask
        allocations (e.g., alloc_cpumask_var) and bitwise operations
        when CPU isolation is disabled. This guarantees zero performance
        or memory overhead for standard configurations.
