Subject: [PATCH 6/8 v3] x86, UV: remove cpumask_t from the stack

From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@....com>

Remove the stack-resident cpumask_t from reset_with_ipi() by allocating
one per uvhub.

Due to the limited size of the stack the potentially huge cpumask_t may
cause stack overrun.  We haven't seen it happen yet, but we need to make it
a practice not to push such structures onto the stack.

Diffed against 3.0.0-rc3
