Jianchao Wang e01ad46d53 blk-mq: fallback to previous nr_hw_queues when updating fails
When we try to increate the nr_hw_queues, we may fail due to
shortage of memory or other reason, then blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs stops
and some entries in q->queue_hw_ctx are left with NULL. However,
because queue map has been updated with new nr_hw_queues, some cpus
have been mapped to hw queue which just encounters allocation failure,
thus blk_mq_map_queue could return NULL. This will cause panic in
following blk_mq_map_swqueue.

To fix it, when increase nr_hw_queues fails, fallback to previous
nr_hw_queues and post warning. At the same time, driver's .map_queues
usually use completion irq affinity to map hw and cpu, fallback
nr_hw_queues will cause lack of some cpu's map to hw, so use default
blk_mq_map_queues to do that.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
