From: Anton Blanchard on

taskset on 2.6.34-rc3 fails on one of my ppc64 test boxes with the following
error:

sched_getaffinity(0, 16, 0x10029650030) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

This box has 128 threads and 16 bytes is enough to cover it. Commit
cd3d8031eb4311e516329aee03c79a08333141f1 (sched: sched_getaffinity(): Allow
less than NR_CPUS length) is comparing this 16 bytes agains nr_cpu_ids.

Fix it by comparing nr_cpu_ids to the number of bits in the cpumask we pass in.
