Jesse pointed me to this thread and apologies that it took a while for me
to respond here.

I agree it will be interesting to see with which kernel version Chris is
reproducing the issue.

Initially, I thought that this issue is the same as the one that we have
been discussing in another thread [1].

However, in that case, the smp affinity mask itself is incorrect and doesn't
follow the default smp affinity mask (with irqbalance disabled).
