For CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, explicit allocation of cpumask

overflow.

Instead, kernel code should always use *cpumask_var API(s) to allocate
cpumask var in config- neutral way, leaving allocation strategy to
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

Use *cpumask_var API(s) to address it.

I think the temporary mask may simply be redundant anyway. It seems like I may have misunderstood, and cpumask_of_node() actually only covers online CPUs already.

Thanks,
Robin.
