    net/dpaa2: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation on stack
    
    [ Upstream commit d33fe1714a44ff540629b149d8fab4ac6967585c ]
    
    For CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, explicit allocation of cpumask
    variable on stack is not recommended since it can cause potential stack
    overflow.
    
    Instead, kernel code should always use *cpumask_var API(s) to allocate
    cpumask var in config-neutral way, leaving allocation strategy to
    CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.
    
    Use *cpumask_var API(s) to address it.
