Cyrill Gorcunov 7abc075313 x86: apic: Do not use stacked physid_mask_t
We should not use physid_mask_t as a stack based
variable in apic code. This type depends on MAX_APICS
parameter which may be huge enough.

Especially it became a problem with apic NOOP driver which
is portable between 32 bit and 64 bit environment
(where we have really huge MAX_APICS).

So apic driver should operate with pointers and a caller
in turn should aware of allocation physid_mask_t variable.

As a side (but positive) effect -- we may use already
implemented physid_set_mask_of_physid function eliminating
default_apicid_to_cpu_present completely.

Note that physids_coerce and physids_promote turned into static
inline from macro (since macro hides the fact that parameter is
being interpreted as unsigned long, make it explicit).
