The driver utilizes an array of atomic variables to keep track of IO submissions to each vector. To submit an IO multiple threads iterate through the array to find a vector which has empty slots to send an IO. The reading and updating of the variable is not atomic, causing race conditions when a thread uses a full vector to submit an IO.

Fixed by mapping each FIB to a vector, the submission path then uses said vector to submit IO thereby removing the possibly of a race condition.The vector assignment is started from 1 since vector 0 is reserved for the use of AIF management FIBS.If the number of MSIx vectors is 1 (MSI or INTx mode) then all the fibs are allocated to vector 0.

Fixes 495c0217 "aacraid: MSI-x support"
