[PATCH v3] cpumask: limit visibility of FORCE_NR_CPUS
From: Yury Norov
Date: Wed Nov 16 2022 - 12:24:59 EST
In current form, FORCE_NR_CPUS is visible to all users building their
kernels, even not experts. It is also set in allmodconfig or allyesconfig,
which is not a correct behavior.
This patch fixes it. It also changes the parameter short description:
removes implementation details and highlights the effect of the change.

v3: instead of 'choice', use !COMPILE_TEST to disable FORCE_NR_CPUS
in all{yes,mod}config, as suggested by Linus.

Say Yes if you have NR_CPUS set to an actual number of possible
CPUs in your system, not to a default value. This forces the core
