john stultz b2d9323d13 Use num_possible_cpus() instead of NR_CPUS for timer distribution
To avoid lock contention, we distribute the sched_timer calls across the
cpus so they do not trigger at the same instant.  However, I used NR_CPUS,
which can cause needless grouping on small smp systems depending on your
kernel config.  This patch converts to using num_possible_cpus() so we
spread it as evenly as possible on every machine.

Briefly tested w/ NR_CPUS=255 and verified reduced contention.
