irq_create_affinity_mask() bails out with no affinity in case of single
vector, but alloc_descs() (see below (*)) assigns the whole affinity
mask. It should be consistent instead.

Actually, I just realized pci_alloc_irq_vectors() should probably call
irq_create_affinity_mask() and handle it in a consistent way for all four
cases: MSI-X, mulit-MSI, MSI and legacy.

Optionally, the three latter could be dropped for now so you could proceed
with NVMe.

(*) In the future IRQ vs CPU mapping 1:N is possible/desirable so I suppose
this piece of code worth a comment or better - a separate function. In fact,
this algorithm already exists in alloc_descs(), which makes even more sense
to factor it out:

for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
if (affinity) {
cpu = cpumask_next(cpu, affinity);
if (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids)
cpu = cpumask_first(affinity);
node = cpu_to_node(cpu);

/*
* For single allocations we use the caller provided
* mask otherwise we use the mask of the target cpu
*/
mask = cnt == 1 ? affinity : cpumask_of(cpu);
}

[...]

So I won't comment on this function before the above is decided.
