i40e: initialize our affinity_mask based on cpu_possible_mask

On older kernels a call to irq_set_affinity_hint does not guarantee that
the IRQ affinity will be set. If nothing else on the system sets the IRQ
affinity this can result in a bug in the i40e_napi_poll() routine where
we notice that our interrupt fired on the "wrong" CPU according to our
internal affinity_mask variable.

This results in a bug where we continuously tell NAPI to stop polling to
move the interrupt to a new CPU, but the CPU never changes because our
affinity mask does not match the actual mask setup for the IRQ.

The root problem is a mismatched affinity mask value. So lets initialize
the value to cpu_possible_mask instead. This ensures that prior to the
first time we get an IRQ affinity notification we'll have the mask set
to include every possible CPU.

We use cpu_possible_mask instead of cpu_online_mask since the former is
almost certainly never going to change, while the later might change
after we've made a copy.
