Fix kmalloc overflow in LPFC driver at large core count

Browse Source 
This patch allows the LPFC to start up without a fatal kernel bug based
on an exceeded KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and a too large NR_CPU-based maskbits
field. The bug was based on the number of CPU cores in a system.
Using the get_cpu_mask() function declared in kernel/cpu.c allows the
driver to load on the community kernel 4.2 RC1.

Below is the kernel bug reproduced:

The proposed solution was approved by James Smart at Emulex and tested
on a UV2 machine with 6144 cores. With the fix, the LPFC module loads
with no unwanted effects on the system.
