    Impact: extra safety checks during transition
    
    When CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK is set, the new cpumask_ operators only
    use bits up to nr_cpu_ids, not NR_CPUS.  Using the old cpus_ operators
    on these masks can mean accessing undefined bits.
    
    After some discussion, Mike and I decided to err on the side of caution;
    we zero the "undefined" bits in alloc_cpumask_var_node() until all the
    old cpumask functions are removed.
