perf tools: Allow overriding MAX_NR_CPUS at compile time
After update of kernel, the perf tool doesn't run anymore on my 32MB RAM
powerpc board, but still runs on a 128MB RAM board:
~# strace perf
execve("/usr/sbin/perf", ["perf"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=0} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Segmentation fault
objdump -x shows that .bss section has a huge size of 24Mbytes:
27 .bss 016baca8 101cebb8 101cebb8 001cd988 2**3
With especially the following objects having quite big size:
10205f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_cycles_stats
10345f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_stalled_cycles_front_stats

11745f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_topdown_recovery_bubbles
This is due to commit 4d255766d28b1 ("perf: Bump max number of cpus
to 1024"), because many tables are sized with MAX_NR_CPUS
This patch gives the opportunity to redefine MAX_NR_CPUS via
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DMAX_NR_CPUS=1
