The fallback code in blk_mq_map_hw_queues is original from blk_mq_pci_map_queues and was added to handle the case where pci_irq_get_affinity will return NULL for !SMP configuration. blk_mq_map_hw_queues replaces besides blk_mq_pci_map_queues also blk_mq_virtio_map_queues which used to use blk_mq_map_queues for the fallback. It's possible to use blk_mq_map_queues for both cases though. blk_mq_map_queues creates the same map as blk_mq_clear_mq_map for !SMP that is CPU 0 will be mapped to hctx 0. The WARN_ON_ONCE has to be dropped for virtio as the fallback is also taken for certain configuration on default. Though there is still a WARN_ON_ONCE check in lib/group_cpus.c: WARN_ON(nr_present + nr_others < numgrps); which will trigger if the caller tries to create more hardware queues than CPUs. It tests the same as the WARN_ON_ONCE in blk_mq_pci_map_queues did.
