x86/smpboot: Prevent false positive out of bounds cpumask access warning
prefill_possible_map() reinitializes the cpu_possible_map by setting the
possible cpu bits and clearing all other bits up to NR_CPUS.

This is technically always correct because cpu_possible_map is statically
allocated and sized NR_CPUS. With CPUMASK_OFFSTACK and DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
enabled the bounds check of cpu masks happens on nr_cpu_ids. nr_cpu_ids is
initialized to NR_CPUS and only limited after the set/clear bit loops have
been executed. 

But if the system was booted with "nr_cpus=N" on the command line, where N
is < NR_CPUS then nr_cpu_ids is limited in the parameter parsing function
before prefill_possible_map() is invoked. As a consequence the cpumask
bounds check triggers when clearing the bits past nr_cpu_ids.

Add a helper which allows to reset cpu_possible_map w/o the bounds check
and then set only the possible bits which are well inside bounds.
