Subject: [PATCH 3/6] cpumask: truncate task_struct.cpus_allowed for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK

Turns cpus_allowed into a bitmap, and truncate it to nr_cpu_ids if
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set.

I do this rather than the classic [0] dangling array trick, because of
INIT_TASK and references to sizeof(struct task_struct).
