x86/vector/msi: Switch to global reservation mode



Devices with many queues allocate a huge number of interrupts and get
assigned a vector for each of them, even if the queues are not active and
the interrupts never requested. This causes problems with the decision
whether the global vector space is sufficient for CPU hot unplug
operations.

Change it to a reservation scheme, which allows overcommitment.

When the interrupt is allocated and initialized the vector assignment
merily updates the reservation request counter in the matrix
allocator. This counter is used to emit warnings when the reservation
exceeds the available vector space, but does not affect CPU offline
operations. Like the managed interrupts the corresponding MSI/DMAR/IOAPIC
entries are directed to the special shutdown vector.

When the interrupt is requested, then the activation code tries to assign a
real vector. If that succeeds the interrupt is started up and functional.

If that fails, then subsequently request_irq() fails with -ENOSPC.

This allows a clear separation of inactive and active modes and simplifies
the final decisions whether the global vector space is sufficient for CPU
offline operations.
