adminq interrupts should be able to fire everywhere.
do we have any reason to bound it on cpu0 ?

Actually, I didn't get any performance improving on my own NVMe card.
But it may be needed on some enterprise card, especially the media is persist memory.
nvme_irq will be invoked twice when ioq0 irq fires, this will introduce another unnecessary DMA
accessing on cq entry.

Yes. At the moment, we have to share the only one irq vector.

Thanks for your directive. :)
