[Devel] [PATCH RH9 01/33] rh/lib/cpumask: Make CPUMASK_OFFSTACK usable without debug dependency

From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer at fedoraproject.org>

When CPUMASK_OFFSTACK was added in 2008, it was dependent upon
DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS being enabled, or an architecture could select it.
The debug dependency adds additional overhead that isn't required for
operation of the feature, and we need CPUMASK_OFFSTACK to increase the
NR_CPUS value beyond 512 on x86.  We drop the current dependency and make
sure SMP is set.

Bugzilla: N/A
Upstream-status: Nak'd, supposedly replacement coming to auto-select

khorenko@: taken from Fedora 27 kernel, otherwise NR_CPUS is limited to 64
without CONFIG_MAXSMP set.

(cherry picked from vz8 commit bf34653509606bdca624f645498045f8a3a593b3)
