    rh/lib/cpumask: Make CPUMASK_OFFSTACK usable without debug dependency
    
    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.
