Subject: prevent dereferencing non-allocated per_cpu variables
From: Mike Travis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Change loops controlled by 'for (i = 0; i < NR_CPUS; i++)' to use
'for_each_possible_cpu(i)' when there's a _remote possibility_ of
dereferencing a non-allocated per_cpu variable involved.
All files except mm/vmstat.c are x86 arch.
Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for pointing this out.
