blk-mq: fallback to previous nr_hw_queues when updating fails
When we try to increate the nr_hw_queues, we may fail due to shortage of memory or other reason, then blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs stops and some entries in q->queue_hw_ctx are left with NULL. However, because queue map has been updated with new nr_hw_queues, some cpus have been mapped to hw queue which just encounters allocation failure, thus blk_mq_map_queue could return NULL. This will cause panic in following blk_mq_map_swqueue. To fix it, when increase nr_hw_queues fails, fallback to previous nr_hw_queues and post warning. At the same time, driver's .map_queues usually use completion irq affinity to map hw and cpu, fallback nr_hw_queues will cause lack of some cpu's map to hw, so use default blk_mq_map_queues to do that.
