Since this patch, some isolated CPUs may not be covered in
blk-mq queue mapping.

Meantime people still may submit IO workload from isolated CPUs
such as by 'taskset -c', blk-mq may not work well for this situation,
for example, IO hang may be caused during cpu hotplug.

I did see this kind of usage in some RH Openshift workloads.

If blk-mq problem can be solved, I am fine with this kind of
change. 


Thanks,
