Ming Lei 529d4d6327 ublk: implement NUMA-aware memory allocation
Implement NUMA-friendly memory allocation for ublk driver to improve
performance on multi-socket systems.

This commit includes the following changes:

1. Rename __queues to queues, dropping the __ prefix since the field is
   now accessed directly throughout the codebase rather than only through
   the ublk_get_queue() helper.

2. Remove the queue_size field from struct ublk_device as it is no longer
   needed.

3. Move queue allocation and deallocation into ublk_init_queue() and
   ublk_deinit_queue() respectively, improving encapsulation. This
   simplifies ublk_init_queues() and ublk_deinit_queues() to just
   iterate and call the per-queue functions.

4. Add ublk_get_queue_numa_node() helper function to determine the
   appropriate NUMA node for a queue by finding the first CPU mapped
   to that queue via tag_set.map[HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT].mq_map[] and
   converting it to a NUMA node using cpu_to_node(). This function is
   called internally by ublk_init_queue() to determine the allocation
   node.

5. Allocate each queue structure on its local NUMA node using
   kvzalloc_node() in ublk_init_queue().

6. Allocate the I/O command buffer on the same NUMA node using
   alloc_pages_node().

This reduces memory access latency on multi-socket NUMA systems by
ensuring each queue's data structures are local to the CPUs that
access them.
