My intention was to allocate up to `managed_irq_per_node` cpu bits from 
`managed_irqs_cpumask[n]`,
even if another task modifies some of the bits in the `managed_irqs_cpumask[n]` 
at the same time.

Sorry, I realize there is indeed a logic issue here (caused by developing on 
5.10 LTS and rebase to the latest linux-next).

I have tried fixing this issue through nvme driver, but later discovered that 
the same issue exists with virtio net.
Therefore, I want to address this with a more general solution.
