[RFC PATCH v2] ACPI / processor: Fix possible CPUs map

[Dou Liyang]

Rafael J told me in order for the ACPI-based physical CPU hotplug to work,
there have to be objects in the ACPI namespace corresponding to all of the
processors in question. If they are not present, there is no way to signal
insertion and eject the processors safely.

But, Kernel calculates the possible CPU count from the number of Local APIC
entries in ACPI MADT. It doesn't consider with the ACPI namespace and
reports unrealistically high numbers. And kernel allocates resources
according to num_possible_cpus(), such as vectors, that may cause vector
space exhaustion and even bugs.

Depth-first search the namespace tree, check and collect the correct CPUs
and update the possible map.
