[PATCH] powerpc/xive: Fix the size of the cpumask used in xive_find_target_in_mask()

When called from xive_irq_startup(), the size of the cpumask can be
larger than nr_cpu_ids. This can result in a WARN_ON such as:

  WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 1 at ../arch/powerpc/sysdev/xive/common.c:476 xive_find_target_in_mask+0x110/0x2f0

    kernel_init+0x24/0x170
    ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x74

This happens because we're being called with our affinity mask set to
irq_default_affinity. That in turn was populated using
cpumask_setall(), which sets NR_CPUs worth of bits, not nr_cpu_ids
worth. Finally cpumask_weight() will return > nr_cpu_ids when passed a
mask which has > nr_cpu_ids bits set.

Fix it by limiting the value returned by cpumask_weight().
