How is this managed_irqs_cpumsk array protected against concurrency?

This whole logic is incomprehensible and aside of the concurrency
problem it's broken when CPUs are made present at run-time because these
cpu masks are static and represent the stale state of the last
invocation.

Given the limitations of the x86 vector space, which is not going away
anytime soon, there are only two options IMO to handle such a scenario.

   1) Tell the nvme/block layer to disable queue affinity management

   2) Restrict the devices and queues to the nodes they sit on
