nvme.poll_queues is 2 in my test, and no irq is involved. But the irq mode
fio test is still as bad as io_uring.

BTW, nvme driver doesn't apply the pci numa node, and I guess the
following patch is needed:

diff --git a/drivers/nvme/host/core.c b/drivers/nvme/host/core.c

Looks you didn't enabling polling. In irq mode, it isn't strange
to observe IOPS difference when running fio on different CPUs.
