cpumask: use nr_cpumask_bits for parsing functions

Commit 513e3d2d11c9 ("cpumask: always use nr_cpu_ids in formatting and
parsing functions") converted both cpumask printing and parsing
functions to use nr_cpu_ids instead of nr_cpumask_bits.  While this was
okay for the printing functions as it just picked one of the two output
formats that we were alternating between depending on a kernel config,
doing the same for parsing wasn't okay.

nr_cpumask_bits can be either nr_cpu_ids or NR_CPUS.  We can always use
nr_cpu_ids but that is a variable while NR_CPUS is a constant, so it can
be more efficient to use NR_CPUS when we can get away with it.
Converting the printing functions to nr_cpu_ids makes sense because it
affects how the masks get presented to userspace and doesn't break
anything; however, using nr_cpu_ids for parsing functions can
incorrectly leave the higher bits uninitialized while reading in these
masks from userland.  As all testing and comparison functions use
nr_cpumask_bits which can be larger than nr_cpu_ids, the parsed cpumasks
can erroneously yield false negative results.

This made the taskstats interface incorrectly return -EINVAL even when
the inputs were correct.

Fix it by restoring the parse functions to use nr_cpumask_bits instead
of nr_cpu_ids.
