Dongli Zhang 0e8e67b814 virtio-blk: limit number of hw queues by nr_cpu_ids
[ Upstream commit bf348f9b78 ]

When tag_set->nr_maps is 1, the block layer limits the number of hw queues
by nr_cpu_ids. No matter how many hw queues are used by virtio-blk, as it
has (tag_set->nr_maps == 1), it can use at most nr_cpu_ids hw queues.

In addition, specifically for pci scenario, when the 'num-queues' specified
by qemu is more than maxcpus, virtio-blk would not be able to allocate more
than maxcpus vectors in order to have a vector for each queue. As a result,
it falls back into MSI-X with one vector for config and one shared for
queues.

Considering above reasons, this patch limits the number of hw queues used
by virtio-blk by nr_cpu_ids.
