x86: Add check for number of available vectors before CPU down
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64791
When a cpu is downed on a system, the irqs on the cpu are assigned to
other cpus. It is possible, however, that when a cpu is downed there
aren't enough free vectors on the remaining cpus to account for the
vectors from the cpu that is being downed.
This results in an interesting "overflow" condition where irqs are
"assigned" to a CPU but are not handled.
For example, when downing cpus on a 1-64 logical processor system:

(last lines keep repeating. ixgbe driver is dead until module reload.)
If the downed cpu has more vectors than are free on the remaining cpus on the
system, it is possible that some vectors are "orphaned" even though they are
assigned to a cpu. In this case, since the ixgbe driver had a watchdog, the
watchdog fired and notified that something was wrong.
This patch adds a function, check_vectors(), to compare the number of vectors
on the CPU going down and compares it to the number of vectors available on
the system. If there aren't enough vectors for the CPU to go down, an
error is returned and propogated back to userspace.
v2: Do not need to look at percpu irqs
v3: Need to check affinity to prevent counting of MSIs in IOAPIC Lowest
Priority Mode
v4: Additional changes suggested by Gong Chen.
