x86/kconfig: Bump default NR_CPUS from 8 to 64 for 64-bit configuration
Default NR_CPUS==8 is not enough to cover high-end desktop configuration: Haswell-E has upto 16 threads. Let's increase default NR_CPUS to 64 on 64-bit configuration. With this value CPU bitmask will still fit into one unsigned long. Default for 32-bit configuration is still 8: it's unlikely anybody will run 32-bit kernels on modern hardware. As an alternative we could bump NR_CPUS to 128 to cover all dual-processor servers with some margin. For reference: Debian and Suse build their kernels with NR_CPUS==512, Fedora -- 1024.
