[PATCH] RISC-V: Dynamically allocate cpumasks and further increase range and default value of NR_CPUS

[Yuntao Liu]

Currently default NR_CPUS is 64 for riscv64, since the latest QEMU virt
machine supports up to 512 CPUS, so set default NR_CPUS 512 for riscv64.

Under the promotion of RISC-V International and related chip
manufacturers, RISC-V has also begun to enter the server market, which
demands higher performance. Other major architectures (such as ARM64,
x86_64, MIPS, etc) already have a higher range, so further increase
this range up to 4096 for riscv64.

Due to the fact that increasing NR_CPUS enlarges the size of cpumasks,
there is a concern that this could significantly impact stack usage,
especially for code that allocates cpumasks on the stack. To address
this, we have the option to enable CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, which prevents
cpumasks from being allocated on the stack. we choose to enable this
feature only when NR_CPUS is greater than 512, why 512, since then
the kernel size with offstack is smaller.

vmlinux size comparison(difference to vmlinux_onstack_NR_CPUS baseline):

NR_CPUS     256         512         1024        2048        4096
onstack     19814536    19840760    19880584    19969672    20141704
offstack    19819144    19840936    19880480    19968544    20135456
difference  +0.023%     +0.001%     -0.001%     -0.001      -0.031%
is_smaller  n           n           y           y           y
