If I got right the discussion you have pointed to, it was about using
cpumask_var_t which is not the case here. I do not mind moving the code
to use the array but I am not sure if this changes much. Looking at the
code changes to support that (to_cpumask namely) it was introduced for
cases where cpumask_var_t was not appropriate, which again isn't the case
here.
