It was against 4.14-rc4, prepared before -rc5 release. Please, consider
the below one, against -rc5.

cpulist_parse() uses nr_cpumask_bits as limit to parse the
passed buffer from kernel commandline. What nr_cpumask_bits
represents varies depends upon CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK option.
If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, then nr_cpumask_bits is same as
NR_CPUS, which might not represent the # of cpus really exist
(default 64). So, there's a chance of gap between nr_cpu_ids
and NR_CPUS, which ultimately lead towards invalid cpulist_parse()
operation. For example, if isolcpus=9 is passed on a 8 cpu
system (CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n) it doesn't show the error
that it suppose to.

This patch fixes this issue by effectively find out the last
cpu of the passed isolcpus list and checking it with nr_cpu_ids.
Also, fixes the error message where the nr_cpu_ids should be
nr_cpu_ids-1, since the cpu numbering starts from 0.
