    x86: fix remove cpu_pda table patch

in tip/testing tree

so we will need some workaround for check_nmi_watchdog() 'cause of  changing

...
-	prev_nmi_count = kmalloc(NR_CPUS * sizeof(int), GFP_KERNEL);
+	prev_nmi_count = kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(int), GFP_KERNEL);
...
-	for (cpu = 0; cpu < NR_CPUS; cpu++)
+	for (cpu = 0; cpu < nr_cpu_ids; cpu++)
...

didn't take a precise look on this, but will take as only be able to ;)
