Takshak Chahande 56fbc24116 libbpf : make libbpf_num_possible_cpus function thread safe
Having static variable `cpus` in libbpf_num_possible_cpus function
without guarding it with mutex makes this function thread-unsafe.

If multiple threads accessing this function, in the current form; it
leads to incrementing the static variable value `cpus` in the multiple
of total available CPUs.

Used local stack variable to calculate the number of possible CPUs and
then updated the static variable using WRITE_ONCE().

Changes since v1:
 * added stack variable to calculate cpus
 * serialized static variable update using WRITE_ONCE()
 * fixed Fixes tag

Fixes: 6446b31555 ("bpf: add a new API libbpf_num_possible_cpus()")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
