[ Upstream commit f2d5dcb48f7ba9e3ff249d58fc1fa963d374e66a ]
ilog2() rounds down, so for example when PowerPC 85xx sets CONFIG_NR_CPUS to 24, we will only allocate 4 bits to store the number of CPUs instead of 5. Use bits_per() instead, which rounds up. Found by code inspection. The effect of this would probably be a misaccounting when doing NUMA balancing, so to a user, it would only be a performance penalty. The effects may be more wide-spread; it's hard to tell.
