btrfs-progs: image: Fix a access-beyond-boundary bug when there are 32 online CPUs

[BUG]
When there are over 32 (in my example, 35) online CPUs, btrfs-image -c9
will just hang.

[CAUSE]
Btrfs-image has a hard coded limit (32) on how many threads we can use.
For the "-t" option we do the up limit check.

But when we don't specify "-t" option and speicified "-c" option, then
btrfs-image will try to auto detect the number of online CPUs, and use
it without checking if it's over the up limit.

And for num_threads larger than the up limit, we will over write the
adjust members of metadump_struct/mdrestore_struct, corrupting
pthread_mutex_t and pthread_cond_t, causing synchronising problem.

Nowadays, with SMT/HT and higher cpu core counts, it's not hard to go
beyond 32 threads, and hit the bug.

[FIX]
Just do extra num_threads check before using the number from sysconf().
