JackDoan 7fe4fab167 tun: default pin CPUs avoid NIC IRQ cores
When tun.pin_threads is on and tun.cpu_affinity is unset, pick pin CPUs
from the allowed set that do not service any up physical NIC's MSI vectors
(read-only walk of /sys/class/net/*/device/msi_irqs and
/proc/irq/*/effective_affinity_list). The old allowed[i] default pinned
encrypt threads onto exactly the cores drivers affine their first RX queue
IRQs to; a flow whose RSS queue fired there had NAPI fighting encrypt for
the core (measured 8.4 vs 10.2 Gbps REV bimodality). Falls back to the old
spread, with a log, when there aren't enough IRQ-free CPUs - e.g. drivers
that allocate one queue per core until the admin narrows them (ethtool -L).
