There is only 1 bit set in mask, which means the difference between
oldmask and the new one would be at the position where the bit is set in
mask.
Based on this knowledge, rcu_state.ncpus could be calculated by checking
whether mask is already set in oldmask.
BTW, the comment at the last of this line is mysterious. Not sure it
could be removed or not.
