[PATCH 1/7] mm: allocate mm_cpumask dynamically based on nr_cpu_ids

[Rik van Riel]

The mm_struct always contains a cpumask bitmap, regardless of
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK. That means the first step can be to
simplify things, and simply have one bitmask at the end of the
mm_struct for the mm_cpumask.

The second step is to determine the correct size for the
mm_struct slab object from the size of the mm_struct
(excluding the cpu bitmap) and the size the cpumask.

For init_mm we can simply allocate the maximum size this
kernel is compiled for, since we only have one init_mm
in the system, anyway.
