In the IRQ affinity hints, replace the binary NUMA preference (local /
remote) with the improved for_each_numa_hop_cpu() API that minds the
actual distances, so that remote NUMAs with short distance are preferred
over farther ones.

This has significant performance implications when using NUMA-aware
allocated memory (follow [1] and derivatives for example).

[1]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.c :: mlx5e_open_channel()
    int cpu = cpumask_first(mlx5_comp_irq_get_affinity_mask(priv->mdev, ix));

Performance tests:

TCP multi-stream, using 16 iperf3 instances pinned to 16 cores (with aRFS on).
Active cores: 64,65,72,73,80,81,88,89,96,97,104,105,112,113,120,121

Bottleneck in RX side is released, reached linerate (~1.8x speedup).
~30% less cpu util on TX.

* CPU util on active cores only.

Setups details (similar for both sides):

NIC: ConnectX6-DX dual port, 100 Gbps each.
Single port used in the tests.
