Guilherme G. Piccoli c0af524372 genirq/affinity: Fix node generation from cpumask 
Commit 34c3d9819f ("genirq/affinity: Provide smarter irq spreading
infrastructure") introduced a better IRQ spreading mechanism, taking
account of the available NUMA nodes in the machine.

Problem is that the algorithm of retrieving the nodemask iterates
"linearly" based on the number of online nodes - some architectures
present non-linear node distribution among the nodemask, like PowerPC.
If this is the case, the algorithm lead to a wrong node count number
and therefore to a bad/incomplete IRQ affinity distribution.

For example, this problem were found in a machine with 128 CPUs and two
nodes, namely nodes 0 and 8 (instead of 0 and 1, if it was linearly
distributed). This led to a wrong affinity distribution which then led to
a bad mq allocation for nvme driver.

Finally, we take the opportunity to fix a comment regarding the affinity
distribution when we have _more_ nodes than vectors.
