The first element of a struct bpf_cpumask is a cpumask_t. This is done
to allow struct bpf_cpumask to be cast to a struct cpumask. If this
element were ever moved to another field, any BPF program passing a
struct bpf_cpumask * to a kfunc expecting a const struct cpumask * would
immediately fail to load. Add a build-time assertion so this is
assumption is captured and verified.
