Subject: [PATCH v2] include/linux/nodemask.h: Use nr_node_ids (not MAX_NUMNODES) in __nodemask_pr_numnodes()

When viewing the /proc/<pid>/status file, one can see output lines like

  Cpus_allowed:	ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff
  Cpus_allowed_list:	0-95
  Mems_allowed:	00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,0000000f
  Mems_allowed_list:	0-3

The "Mems_allowed" line uses the "%*pb" format string while the
"Mems_allowed_list" line uses the "%*pbl" format string together with
the nodemask_pr_args() macro.

The "Mems_allowed" looks insane compared with the others.  It is because
the nodemask_pr_args() macro uses MAX_NUMNODES as the number of nodes
to iterate. The cpumask_pr_args() macro uses nr_cpu_ids instead of
MAX_CPUS. For nodes, there is a corresponding nr_node_ids.  So it makes
sense to use nr_node_ids instead to be consistent with "Cpus_allowed:".

With that change, the "Mems_allowed" line becomes sane again.

  Mems_allowed:	f

There are currently 10 call sites of nodemask_pr_args() in the kernel.
Of them, only cpuset_task_status_allowed() in kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c
uses the "%*pb" format string that will be affected by this change. That
cpuset function is called by proc_pid_status() only.
