Almost all callers of the set_cpu_* functions pass an explicit true or
false.  Making them static inline thus replaces the function calls with a
simple set_bit/clear_bit, saving some .text.

Replace the variables cpu_possible_mask, cpu_online_mask, cpu_present_mask
and cpu_active_mask with macros expanding to expressions of the same type
and value, eliminating some indirection.

Exporting the cpumasks __cpu_possible_mask and friends will allow us to
remove the extra indirection through the cpu_*_mask variables.  It will
also allow the set_cpu_* functions to become static inlines, which will
give a .text reduction.

da91309e0a7e (cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu...) created a
genuinely weird function.  I never saw it before, it went through DaveM.
(He only does this to make us other maintainers feel better about our own
mistakes.)

cpumask_set_cpu_local_first's purpose is say "I need to spread things
across N online cpus, choose the ones on this numa node first"; you call
it in a loop.

It can fail.  One of the two callers ignores this, the other aborts and
fails the device open.

It can fail in two ways: allocating the off-stack cpumask, or through a
convoluted codepath which AFAICT can only occur if cpu_online_mask
changes.  Which shouldn't happen, because if cpu_online_mask can change
while you call this, it could return a now-offline cpu anyway.

It contains a nonsensical test "!cpumask_of_node(numa_node)".  This was
drawn to my attention by Geert, who said this causes a warning on Sparc.
It sets a single bit in a cpumask instead of returning a cpu number,
because that's what the callers want.

It could be made more efficient by passing the previous cpu rather than
an index, but that would be more invasive to the callers.

The Subtlety (1) referred to vanished with 6ba2ef7baac2 ("cpumask:
Move deprecated functions to end of header."). That used to mention
some suboptimal code generation by a, by now, rather ancient gcc. With
gcc 4.7, I don't see any change in the generated code by making it a
static inline, so let's add type checking and get rid of the ghost
reference.

Using these functions with offstack cpus is unsafe.  They use all NR_CPUS
bits, unstead of nr_cpumask_bits.

In particular, lustre (in staging) used cpus_ and that caused a bug.
