Subject: [PATCH] bounds: support non-power-of-two CONFIG_NR_CPUS

ilog2() rounds down, so for example when PowerPC 85xx sets CONFIG_NR_CPUS
to 24, we will only allocate 4 bits to store the number of CPUs instead of
5.  Use bits_per() instead, which rounds up.  Found by code inspection.
The effect of this would probably be a misaccounting when doing NUMA
balancing, so to a user, it would only be a performance penalty.  The
effects may be more wide-spread; it's hard to tell.
