[PATCH] virtio_blk: add use_irq_affinity module parameter

When creating many virtio-blk devices, probe starts failing with
-ENOSPC (-28) because the system runs out of interrupt vectors:

  virtio_blk virtioNNN: probe with driver virtio_blk failed with error -28

By default virtio-blk uses managed IRQ affinity, which reserves an
interrupt vector on every CPU for each device (about nr_cpus vectors per
device). On a host with many CPUs and many devices this exhausts the
vectors long before all devices are probed.

Add use_irq_affinity (default true, no behaviour change). Set it to 0 to
use unmanaged interrupts, so each device only uses a couple of vectors
instead of one per CPU, allowing far more devices to probe.
