cpumask: add cpumask_scnprintf_len function
Add a new function cpumask_scnprintf_len() to return the number of characters needed to display "len" cpumask bits. The current method of allocating NR_CPUS bytes is incorrect as what's really needed is 9 characters per 32-bit word of cpumask bits (8 hex digits plus the seperator [','] or the terminating NULL.) This function provides the caller the means to allocate the correct string length. Cc: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
