    ledtrig-cpu: Limit to 8 CPUs
    
    [ Upstream commit abcc131292aa8c7de2c5f0ed76a717436c21de63 ]
    
    Some machines have thousands of CPUs... and trigger mechanisms was not
    really meant for thousands of triggers. I doubt anyone uses this
    trigger on many-CPU machine; but if they do, they'll need to do it
    properly.
