3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
commit e734568b675c985db2026848fefaac01c22977a5 upstream.
The OProfile perf backend uses a static array to keep track of the perf events on the system. When compiling with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y && SMP, nr_cpumask_bits is not a compile-time constant and the build will fail with:
oprofile_perf.c:28: error: variably modified 'perf_events' at file scope
This patch uses NR_CPUs instead of nr_cpumask_bits for the array initialisation. If this causes space problems in the future, we can always move to dynamic allocation for the events array.
