Could you possibly print the two masks themselves? cpumask_scnprintf()
and friend come in handy for this.

The dest_cpu=1024 thing seem to suggest the intersection between
p->cpus_allowed and cpu_active_mask is empty for some reason, even
though we forcefully reset p->cpus_allowed to the full set using
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked().

/me goes re-read the cpu_active_map code, this really shouldn't happen.
