Commit d52c9750f150 ("coresight: reset "enable_sink" flag when need be") caused a kernel panic because of the using of an invalid value: after 'for_each_cpu(cpu, mask)', value of local variable 'cpu' become invalid, causes following 'cpu_to_node' access invalid memory area. This patch brings the deleted 'cpu = cpumask_first(mask)' back.
