During CPU offline, in blk_mq_hctx_notify_offline(),
blk_mq_hctx_has_online_cpu() returns true even though the last cpu in
hctx 0 is offline because isolated cpus join hctx 0 unexpectedly, so IOs in
hctx 0 won't be drained.

However managed irq core code still shutdowns the hw queue's irq because all
CPUs in this hctx are offline now. Then IO hang is triggered, isn't it?

The current blk-mq takes static & global queue/CPUs mapping, in which all CPUs
are covered. This patchset removes isolated CPUs from the mapping, and the
change is big from viewpoint of blk-mq queue mapping.

Please see above.
