Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: rps: don't skip offline cpus when set rps_cpus

From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@...il.com>

On our 4-core system, sometimes I can enable all CPUs to process packets.
But sometimes I can't, if all the CPUs become offline except core 0, I
will get the following result, which is really annoying for my script:
 # echo f > /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus
 # cat /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus
 1

Since we won't steer the packets to these offline cpus, it's reasonable
to enable all configed cpus to the rps_map, even if they are offline for
the time being.
