Subject: [PATCH] x86/acpi: Fix a warning message in logical CPU IDs allocation

Current warning message regarded the "nr_cpu_ids - 1" as the limit
number of the CPUs. It may be confused us, for example:
we have two CPUs, nr_cpu_ids = 2, but the warning message may
indicate that we just have 1 CPU, which likes that:
    Only 1 processors supported.Processor 2/0x2 and the rest
    are ignored.

Fix the warning message, replace "nr_cpu_ids - 1" with "nr_cpu_ids".
And the warning message can be like that:
    APIC: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 2 reached. Processor 2/0x2
    and the rest are ignored.
