I don't mind, but do we really need a per-cpu variable for this? Does it
really matter if you spin on a stack variable and occasionally spin a
bit longer due to the missed tail of the previous spin?

If this function is passed an empty cpumask, the above will result in
'cpu == nr_cpu_ids' and the below might be unhappy with that.

(FWIW we do have cpumask_next_wrap(), but I admit it is somewhat awkward
to use)
