    sched: Fix sched_getaffinity()
    
    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.
