Subject: [PATCH] genirq: only scan the present CPUs

lots of application will read /proc/stat, like ps and vmstat, but we
find the reading time are spreading on Purley platform which has lots
of possible CPUs and interrupt.

To reduce the reading time, only scan the present CPUs, not all possible
CPUs, which speeds the reading of /proc/stat 20 times on Purley platform
which has 56 present CPUs, and 224 possible CPUs
