group_cnt array is defined with NR_CPUS entries, but normally nr_groups will not reach up to NR_CPUS. So there is no issue to the current code. Checking other parts of pcpu_build_alloc_info, use nr_groups as check condition, so make it consistent to use 'group < nr_groups' as for loop check. In case we do have nr_groups equals with NR_CPUS, we could also avoid memory access out of bounds.
