[15/17] kernel/cpu: add num_active_cpu counter

Commit Message

Yury Norov Dec. 18, 2021, 9:20 p.m. UTC

Similarly to the online cpus, the cpu_active_mask is actively used
in the kernel. This patch adds a counter for active cpus, so that
users that call num_active_cpus() would know the result immediately,
instead of calling the bitmap_weight for the mask.

Who cares about num_active_cpus() ?

NAK, this should *never*ever* be used from a module.
