I encountered this iwlwifi failure while testing the Intel 9260 with the
AMD Ryzen 7 2700x (8 core, 16 thread).  By bisecting the kernel, I was
able to narrow it down to the same commit.  I can also verify that
setting maxcpus=15, fixes wifi (at the cost of performance).

This is a really important fix for certain System76 products.  We'd
really like to see it backported so Ubuntu works without compromises on
our machines.  I'm happy to test any testing or proposed kernels.

  [Impact]
  Got dmesg kernel BUG while loading iwlwifi driver on machines which has 16 or 
more logical CPUs
     kernel: RIP: 0010:iwl_pcie_rxq_alloc_rbs+0x1d0/0x1f0 [iwlwifi]
  And it leads to wifi can't scan any APs, and leads to system hangs while 
suspending.

  [Fix]
  Below commit contained in v4.17 fix the issue.
     ab1068d6866e iwlwifi: pcie: compare with number of IRQs requested for, not 
number of CPUs

  [Regression Potential]
  Low.
