After update of kernel, the perf tool doesn't run anymore on my 32MB RAM
powerpc board, but still runs on a 128MB RAM board:

  ~# strace perf
  execve("/usr/sbin/perf", ["perf"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
  --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=0} ---
  +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
  Segmentation fault

objdump -x shows that .bss section has a huge size of 24Mbytes:

 27 .bss          016baca8  101cebb8  101cebb8  001cd988  2**3

With especially the following objects having quite big size:

  10345f80 l     O .bss	00140000     runtime_stalled_cycles_front_stats

This is due to commit 4d255766 ("perf: Bump max number of cpus
to 1024"), because many tables are sized with MAX_NR_CPUS

This patch gives the opportunity to redefine MAX_NR_CPUS via

  $ make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DMAX_NR_CPUS=1
