Subject: [PATCH] x86: UV BAU Increase maximum CPUs per socket/hub

We have encountered hardware with 18 cores/socket that gives 36 CPUs/socket
with hyperthreading enabled. This exceeds the current MAX_CPUS_PER_SOCKET
causing a failure in get_cpu_topology. Increase MAX_CPUS_PER_SOCKET to 64
and MAX_CPUS_PER_UVHUB to 128.

Additionally, this exposed another bug. When get_cpu_topology fails, we
need to make sure that we do not use bau_control->statp (e.g. when a
user reads /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics causing ptc_seq_show to be
invoked). In uv_bau_init we call set_bau_off() when
init_per_cpu()->get_cpu_topology() fails -- therefore, to avoid
referencing a NULL pointer we add code that detects when the bau is off
and print out the bau is disabled.
