[PATCH] cpumask: fix compat getaffinity

[KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com>]

Hi Linus,

Is there any chance to merge this patch at this merge window?
Now, Ken and PS3 community suffer from the regression of 
commit a45185d2d. And I and Rusty agreed the following fix is sufficient.

Subject: [PATCH] cpumask: fix compat getaffinity

Commit a45185d2d "cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c" broke
libnuma, which abuses sched_getaffinity to find out NR_CPUS
in order to parse /sys/devices/system/node/node*/cpumap.

On NUMA systems with less than 32 possibly CPUs, the
current compat_sys_sched_getaffinity now returns '4'
instead of the actual NR_CPUS/8, which makes libnuma
bail out when parsing the cpumap.

The libnuma call sched_getaffinity(0, bitmap, 4096)
at first. It mean the libnuma expect the return value of
sched_getaffinity() is either len argument or NR_CPUS.
But it doesn't expect to return nr_cpu_ids.

Strictly speaking, userland requirement are

1) Glibc assume the return value mean the lengh of initialized
   of mask argument. E.g. if sched_getaffinity(1024) return 128,
   glibc make zero fill rest 896 byte.
2) Libnuma assume the return value can be used to guess NR_CPUS
   in kernel. It assume len-arg<NR_CPUS makes -EINVAL. But
   it try len=4096 at first and 4096 is always bigger than
   NR_CPUS. Then, if we remove strange min_length normalization,
   we never hit -EINVAL case.

sched_getaffinity() already solved this issue. This patch
adapt compat_sys_sched_getaffinity() as it.
