    libxc: limit cpu values when setting vcpu affinity
    
    When support for pinning more than 64 cpus was added, check for cpu
    out-of-range values was removed. This can lead to subsequent
    out-of-bounds cpumap array accesses in case the cpu number is higher
    than the actual count.
    
    This patch returns the check.
    
    This is CVE-2013-2072 / XSA-56
