[GIT pull] irq fix for 4.15

From: Thomas Gleixner

Linus,

please pull the latest irq-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git irq-urgent-for-linus

A single fix for the new matrix allocator to prevent vector exhaustion by
certain network drivers which allocate gazillions of unused vectors which
cannot be put into reservation mode due to MSI and the lack of MSI entry
masking. The fix/workaround is to spread the vectors across CPUs by
searching the supplied target CPU mask for the CPU with the smallest number
of allocated vectors.

Thanks,

tglx
