When the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS, the cpumap code
can trigger a spurious warning if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is also set. This
happens because in this configuration, NR_CPUS can be larger than
nr_cpumask_bits, so the initial check in cpu_map_alloc() is not sufficient
to guard against hitting the warning in cpumask_check().

Fix this by using the nr_cpumask_bits variable in the map creation code
instead of the NR_CPUS constant.

Fixes: 6710e1126934 ("bpf: introduce new bpf cpu map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_CPUMAP")

Shouldn't you use 'nr_cpu_ids' instead of 'nr_cpumask_bits' ?

Else this will still fail on systems with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n.

Jesper and I had an offlist discussion about this, and decided that it's
actually better to keep the check in cpu_map_alloc as-is, and instead
just check against nr_cpumask_bits in cpu_map_update_elem(). Otherwise,
the max-size of the map can vary between machines which can affect BPF
program portability.

I'll send a v2.
