ACPI: Do not try to set up acpi processor stuff on cores exceeding maxcpus=

Patch is against latest Linus master branch and is expected to be
safe bug fix.

You get:
ACPI: HARDWARE addr space,NOT supported yet
for each ACPI defined CPU which status is active, but exceeds
maxcpus= count.

As these "not booted" CPUs do not run an idle routine
and echo X >/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling did not work
I couldn't find a way to really access not onlined/booted
machines. Still this should get fixed and
/proc/acpi/processor/X dirs of cores exceeding maxcpus
should not show up.

I wonder whether this could get cleaned up by truncating possible cpu mask
and nr_cpu_ids to setup_max_cpus early some day
(and not exporting setup_max_cpus anymore then).
But this needs touching of a lot other places...
