[PATCH v2 4/4] vhost-user-blk: default num_queues to -smp N

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Automatically size the number of request virtqueues to match the number
of vCPUs.  This ensures that completion interrupts are handled on the
same vCPU that submitted the request.  No IPI is necessary to complete
an I/O request and performance is improved.
