-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>
upstream commit: b3242151906372f30f57feaa43b4cac96a23edb1
Instead of allocating a fix sized array of NR_CPUS pointers for percpu_data,
we can use nr_cpu_ids, which is generally < NR_CPUS.
