x86, msr/cpuid: Register enough minors for the MSR and CPUID drivers
register_chrdev() hardcodes registering 256 minors, presumably to avoid breaking old drivers. However, we need to register enough minors so that we have all possible CPUs. checkpatch warns on this patch, but the patch is correct: NR_CPUS here is a static *upper bound* on the *maximum CPU index* (not *number of CPUs!*) and that is what we want.
