cpumask: Use all NR_CPUS bits unless CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK
Impact: futureproof as we convert more code to new APIs
The old cpumask operators treat all NR_CPUS bits as relevent, the new
ones use nr_cpumask_bits. For large NR_CPUS and small nr_cpu_ids, this
makes a difference.
However, mixing the two can cause problems with undefined bits. An
arch which sets CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK should have converted across
to the new operators, so it's safe in that case.
(Thanks to Stephen Rothwell for bisecting the initial unused-bits bug,
and Mike Travis for this solution).
