This could mean that your include/generated/autoconf.h, which is used by
external modules, is not updated and contains CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8. Do

make mrproper

in your kernel directory by moving your .config out of the way first and
then rebuild your kernel and external module(s). nr_cpu_ids should pick
up the updated CONFIG_NR_CPUS value from your .config.
