Subject: [PATCH 1/4] cpumask: un-inline cpulist_parse for SMP; prepare for ascii helpers

In order to support convenience tokens like "all", and "none" and
"last" in CPU lists, we'll have to use string operations and expand
on what is currently a simple wrapper around the underlying bitmap
function call.

Rather than add header dependencies to cpumask.h and code more complex
operations not really appropriate for a header file, we prepare by
simply un-inlining it here and move it to the lib dir alongside the
other more complex cpumask functions.

Since lib/cpumask.c is built conditionally on CONFIG_SMP, and there
are non-SMP callers, we leave the one-line stub behind for that case.
If they want to check "0-0" is a valid range, they can still do it.
In the meantime, we can add the ascii helpers for CONFIG_SMP users.
The use of NR_CPUS vs. CONFIG_SMP is consistent with the existing file.

Aside from an additional exported symbol in the SMP case, no functional
changes are anticipated with this move.
