[PATCH 2/3] padata: Use the online cpumask as the default

From: Steffen Klassert
Date: Wed Mar 28 2012 - 02:44:50 EST


We use the active cpumask to determine the superset of cpus
to use for parallelization. However, the active cpumask is
for internal usage of the scheduler and therefore not the
appropriate cpumask for these purposes. So use the online
cpumask instead.
