cpumask: fix compat getaffinity
Commit a45185d2d "cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c" broke libnuma, which abuses sched_getaffinity to find out NR_CPUS in order to parse /sys/devices/system/node/node*/cpumap. On NUMA systems with less than 32 possibly CPUs, the current compat_sys_sched_getaffinity now returns '4' instead of the actual NR_CPUS/8, which makes libnuma bail out when parsing the cpumap. The libnuma call sched_getaffinity(0, bitmap, 4096) at first. It mean the libnuma expect the return value of sched_getaffinity() is either len argument or NR_CPUS. But it doesn't expect to return nr_cpu_ids. Strictly speaking, userland requirement are 1) Glibc assume the return value mean the lengh of initialized of mask argument. E.g. if sched_getaffinity(1024) return 128, glibc make zero fill rest 896 byte. 2) Libnuma assume the return value can be used to guess NR_CPUS in kernel. It assume len-arg<NR_CPUS makes -EINVAL. But it try len=4096 at first and 4096 is always bigger than NR_CPUS. Then, if we remove strange min_length normalization, we never hit -EINVAL case. sched_getaffinity() already solved this issue. This patch adapts compat_sys_sched_getaffinity() to match the non-compat case.
