The Intel IOMMU code currently tries to allocate all DMAR fault interrupt
vectors on the boot cpu. On large systems with high DMAR counts this
results in vector exhaustion, and most of the vectors are not initially
allocated socket local.

Instead, have a cpu on each node do the vector allocation for the DMARs on
that node. The boot cpu still does the allocation for its node during its
boot sequence.

v2: per Thomas Gleixner, implement this from a DYN CPU hotplug state, though
this implementation runs in CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN space rather than
CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN space.

Patch has been queued for iommu/vt-d.
