These are technically real fixes, but they are really just "documented
behavior" fixes, and don't actually matter unless you also have
596ff4a09b89 ("cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask
optimizations"), which doesn't look like stable material.
And if somebody *does* decide to backport commit 596ff4a09b89, you
should then backport all of
6015b1aca1a2 sched_getaffinity: don't assume 'cpumask_size()' is
fully initialized
e7304080e0e5 cpumask: relax sanity checking constraints
63355b9884b3 cpumask: be more careful with 'cpumask_setall()'
8ca09d5fa354 cpumask: fix incorrect cpumask scanning result checks
but again, none of these matter as long as the constant-sized cpumask
optimized case doesn't exist.
(Technically, FORCE_NR_CPUS also does the constant-size optimizations
even before, but that will complain loudly if that constant size then
doesn't match nr_cpu_ids, so ..).
