SubjectRe: [PATCH] rudimentary tracing for Classic RCU

Actually you should near never use NR_CPUS now but always num_possible_cpus()
(or even num_online_cpus()) Using NR_CPUS can lead to extreme waste
of memory on kernels which are compiled for 4096 CPUs for example.

And with num_possible_cpus() kmalloc is needed.
