mm: Allocate the mm_cpumask (mm->cpu_bitmap[]) dynamically based on nr_cpu_ids
The mm_struct always contains a cpumask bitmap, regardless of CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK. That means the first step can be to simplify things, and simply have one bitmask at the end of the mm_struct for the mm_cpumask. This does necessitate moving everything else in mm_struct into an anonymous sub-structure, which can be randomized when struct randomization is enabled. The second step is to determine the correct size for the mm_struct slab object from the size of the mm_struct (excluding the CPU bitmap) and the size the cpumask. For init_mm we can simply allocate the maximum size this kernel is compiled for, since we only have one init_mm in the system, anyway. Pointer magic by Mike Galbraith, to evade -Wstringop-overflow getting confused by the dynamically sized array.
