IB/hfi1: Add global structure for affinity assignments
When HFI units get initialized, they each use their own mask copy for affinity assignments. On a multi-HFI system, affinity assignments overbook CPU cores as each HFI doesn't have knowledge of affinity assignments for other HFI units. Therefore, some CPU cores are never used for interrupt handlers in systems with high number of CPU cores per NUMA node. For multi-HFI systems, SDMA engine interrupt assignments start all over from the first CPU in the local NUMA node after the first HFI initialization. This change allows assignments to continue where the last HFI unit left off. Add global structure for affinity assignments for multiple HFIs to share affinity mask.
