6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 050a4c011b0dfeb91664a5d7bd3647ff38db08ce ]
When creating a software steering completion queue (CQ), an arbitrary
MSIX vector n is selected. This results in the CQ sharing the same
Ethernet traffic channel n associated with the chosen vector. However,
the value of n is often unpredictable, which can introduce complications
for interrupt monitoring and verification tools.
Moreover, SW steering uses polling rather than event-driven interrupts.
Therefore, there is no need to select any MSIX vector other than the
existing vector 0 for CQ creation.
In light of these factors, and to enhance predictability, we modify the
code to consistently select MSIX vector 0 for CQ creation.
