[PATCH 1/2] perf_event: Fix incorrect range check on cpu number

[Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>]

It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning that
it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is greater than
the total count of possible CPUs.

Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu number
where it checks it against num_possible_cpus().  This test can fail
for a legitimate cpu number if the cpu_possible_mask is sparsely
populated.

This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to ensure
that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset() subsequently.
