Why is the cpumask_test_cpu() call there?  It's hard to think of a
reason why "mask" would specify any CPU other than "0" in a
uniprocessor kernel.

It may specify none.  For instance, in drain_all_pages() case, if the
CPU has no pages on PCP lists, the mask will be empty and so the
cpumask_test_cpu() will return zero.
