Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: Kconfig: select CPUMASK_OFFSTACK for Hyper-V

CPUMASK_OFFSTACK must be set to have NR_CPUS_RANGE_END value greater than
512, which eventually allows NR_CPUS > 512.

CPUMASK_OFFSTACK can also be enabled by setting MAXSMP=y, but that will
set NR_CPUS=8192. This is not accurate for Hyper-V, because maximum number
of vCPU supported by Hyper-V today is 2048. Thus, enabling MAXSMP increase
the vmlinux size unnecessary.

This option allows NR_CPUS=2048 which saves around 1MB of vmlinux size for
Hyper-V.
