When a sf is created after a CPU has been taken offline, the IRQ pool may
contain IRQs with affinity masks that include the offline CPU. Since only
online CPUs should be considered for IRQ placement, cpumask_subset() check
would fail because the iter_mask contains offline CPUs that are not present
in req_mask, causing sf creation to fail.
This is an example:
1. When mlx5 driver loads, it initializes the IRQ pools.
For sf_ctrl_pool with ≤64 sf:
- xa_num_irqs = {N, N} (There is only one slot)
2. When the first SF is created:
- The ctrl IRQ is allocated with mask=cpu_online_mask={0-191}
2. We take CPU 20 offline
3. Existing ctl irq still have mask={0-191}
4. Create a new SF:
- req_mask={0-19,21-191}
- iter_mask={0-191}
- {0-191} is NOT a subset of {0-19,21-191}
- least_loaded_irq=NULL
5. Try to allocate a new irq via irq_pool_request_irq()
6. xa_alloc() fails because the pool is full(There is only one slot)
7. sf creation fails with error
Use irq_get_effective_affinity_mask() instead, which returns the IRQ's
actual effective affinity that already excludes offline CPUs.
