Controllers with multiple queues have their IRQ-handelers pinned to a
CPU. The core shouldn't need to complete the request on a remote CPU.
Remove this case and always raise the softirq to complete the request.

I don't get this.
This code is about _avoiding_ having to raise a softirq if the driver
exports more than one hardware queue.
So where exactly does the remote CPU case come in here?
