Subject: [PATCH] include/linux/nodemask.h: Use nr_node_ids instead of MAX_NUMNODES in nodemask_pr_args

When viewing the /proc/<pid>/status file, one can see output lines like

  Cpus_allowed:	ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff
  Cpus_allowed_list:	0-95
  Mems_allowed:	00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,0000000f
  Mems_allowed_list:	0-3

It looks really strange that so many bits are displayed in the
"Mems_allowed:" line.  Whereas the "Cpus_allowed:" line is perfectly
fine.

It is because the nodemask_pr_args() macro uses MAX_NUMNODES as the
number of nodes to iterate. The cpumask_pr_args() macro uses nr_cpu_ids
instead of MAX_CPUS. For nodes, there is a corresponding nr_node_ids.
So it makes sense to use nr_node_ids instead to be consistent with
"Cpus_allowed:".

With that change, the "Mems_allowed:" line becomes

  Mems_allowed:	f
