SubjectRe: irq/affinity: Fix extra vecs calculation
Hi,

Something is wrong with this patch. We run CRIU tests for upstream kernels.
And we found that a kernel with this patch can't be booted.

https://travis-ci.org/avagin/linux/builds/223557750

We don't have access to console logs and I can't reproduce this issue on
my nodes. I tired to revert this patch and everything works as expected.

https://travis-ci.org/avagin/linux/builds/223594172

Here is another report about this patch
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/16/344

Thanks,
Andrei
