    drivers/base: fix userspace break from using bin_attributes for cpumap and cpulist · 7ee951ac

    Using bin_attributes with a 0 size causes fstat and friends to return that
    0 size. This breaks userspace code that retrieves the size before reading
    the file. Rather than reverting 75bd50fa ("drivers/base/node.c: use
    bin_attribute to break the size limitation of cpumap ABI") let's put in a
    size value at compile time.
    
    For cpulist the maximum size is on the order of
    	NR_CPUS * (ceil(log10(NR_CPUS)) + 1)/2
    
    which for 8192 is 20480 (8192 * 5)/2. In order to get near that you'd need
    a system with every other CPU on one node. For example: (0,2,4,8, ... ).
    To simplify the math and support larger NR_CPUS in the future we are using
    (NR_CPUS * 7)/2. We also set it to a min of PAGE_SIZE to retain the older
    behavior for smaller NR_CPUS.
    
    The cpumap file the size works out to be NR_CPUS/4 + NR_CPUS/32 - 1
    (or NR_CPUS * 9/32 - 1) including the ","s.
    
    Add a set of macros for these values to cpumask.h so they can be used in
    multiple pl...
