Tejun Heo 74d46d6b2d percpu, sparc64: fix sparse possible cpu map handling
percpu code has been assuming num_possible_cpus() == nr_cpu_ids which
is incorrect if cpu_possible_map contains holes.  This causes percpu
code to access beyond allocated memories and vmalloc areas.  On a
sparc64 machine with cpus 0 and 2 (u60), this triggers the following
warning or fails boot.

This patch fixes generic percpu functions and sparc64
setup_per_cpu_areas() so that they handle sparse cpu_possible_map
properly.

Please note that on x86, cpu_possible_map() doesn't contain holes and
thus num_possible_cpus() == nr_cpu_ids and this patch doesn't cause
any behavior difference.
