[PATCH 7/7] 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 addressing the
issue since group_cpus_evenly() does group cpus according to CPU/NUMA
locality.

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