4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rakib Mullick <rakib.mullick@xxxxxxxxx> commit 10d94ff4d558b96bfc4f55bb0051ae4d938246fe upstream. When the irqaffinity= kernel parameter is passed in a CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, it fails to boot, because zalloc_cpumask_var() cannot be used before initializing the slab allocator to allocate a cpumask. So, use alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var() instead. Also do some cleanups while at it: in init_irq_default_affinity() remove an #ifdef via using cpumask_available().
