[PATCH net-next v5 1/1] net:openvswitch:reduce cpu_used_mask memory

[Eddy Tao]

Use actual CPU number instead of hardcoded value to decide the size
of 'cpu_used_mask' in 'struct sw_flow'. Below is the reason.

'struct cpumask cpu_used_mask' is embedded in struct sw_flow.
Its size is hardcoded to CONFIG_NR_CPUS bits, which can be
8192 by default, it costs memory and slows down ovs_flow_alloc

To address this, redefine cpu_used_mask to pointer
append cpumask_size() bytes after 'stat' to hold cpumask

cpumask APIs like cpumask_next and cpumask_set_cpu never access
bits beyond cpu count, cpumask_size() bytes of memory is enough
