IB/hfi1: Add global structure for affinity assignments

Browse source 
When HFI units get initialized, they each use their own mask copy for
affinity assignments. On a multi-HFI system, affinity assignments
overbook CPU cores as each HFI doesn't have knowledge of affinity
assignments for other HFI units. Therefore, some CPU cores are never
used for interrupt handlers in systems with high number of CPU cores
per NUMA node.

For multi-HFI systems, SDMA engine interrupt assignments start all over
from the first CPU in the local NUMA node after the first HFI
initialization. This change allows assignments to continue where the
last HFI unit left off.

Add global structure for affinity assignments for multiple HFIs to share
affinity mask.
