Commit 2a0787051182 ("irqchip/mips-gic: Use gic_vpes instead of
NR_CPUS") & commit 78930f09b940 ("irqchip/mips-gic: Clear percpu_masks
correctly when mapping") both introduce code which accesses gic_vpes
entries in the pcpu_masks array. However, this array has length NR_CPUS.
If NR_CPUS is less than gic_vpes (ie. the kernel supports use of less
CPUs than are present in the system) then we overrun the array, clobber
some other data & generally die pretty promptly.

Most notably this affects uniprocessor kernels running on any multicore
or multithreaded Malta with a GIC (ie. the vast majority of real Malta
boards).

Fix this by only accessing up to min(gic_vpes, NR_CPUS) entries in the
pcpu_masks array, preventing the array overrun.
