Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/irdma: Cap MSIX used to online CPUs + 1

The irdma driver can use a maximum number of msix vectors equal
to num_online_cpus() + 1 and the kernel warning stack below is shown
if that number is exceeded.

The kernel throws a warning as the driver tries to update the affinity
hint with a CPU mask greater than the max CPU IDs. Fix this by capping
the MSIX vectors to num_online_cpus() + 1.
