nwhitehorn 89d01c24d1 Replace a number of conflations of mp_ncpus and mp_maxid with either
mp_maxid or CPU_FOREACH() as appropriate. This fixes a number of places in
the kernel that assumed CPU IDs are dense in [0, mp_ncpus) and would try,
for example, to run tasks on CPUs that did not exist or to allocate too
few buffers on systems with sparse CPU IDs in which there are holes in the
range and mp_maxid > mp_ncpus. Such circumstances generally occur on
systems with SMT, but on which SMT is disabled. This patch restores system
operation at least on POWER8 systems configured in this way.

There are a number of other places in the kernel with potential problems
in these situations, but where sparse CPU IDs are not currently known
to occur, mostly in the ARM machine-dependent code. These will be fixed
in a follow-up commit after the stable/11 branch.
