Aneesh reported a crash with a fairly recent upstream kernel when
booting kernel whose commandline was appended with nr_cpus=2

Current code assumes that num_possible_cpus() is always greater than
threads_per_core. However this may not be true when using nr_cpus=2 or
similar options. Handle the case where num_possible_cpus() is not an
exact multiple of threads_per_core.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
