Now we can simplify code that allocates cpumasks for local needs.

Existing MANA design assigns IRQ to every CPU, including sibling
hyper-threads. This may cause multiple IRQs to be active simultaneously
in the same core and may reduce the network performance.
Improve the performance by assigning IRQ to non sibling CPUs in local
NUMA node. The performance improve

Similarly to cpumask_weight_and(), cpumask_weight_andnot() is a handy
helper that may help to avoid creating an intermediate mask just to
calculate number of bits that set in a 1st given mask, and clear in 2nd
one.

Souradeep investigated that the driver performs faster if IRQs are
spread on CPUs with the following heuristics:
1. No more than one IRQ per CPU, if possible;
2. NUMA locality is the second priority;
3. Sibling dislocality is the last priority.
Let's consider this topology:
No
This patch set introduces a new helper function irq_setup(),
to optimize IRQ distribution for MANA network devices.
The patch set makes the driver working 15% faster than
with cpumask_local_spread().
