[PATCH] Convert highest_possible_processor_id to nr_cpu_ids

We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors.  So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id().  However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id.  Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation.  The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running.  We can therefore calculate that number
once.
