fix: crash: IP: __bitmap_intersects+0x48/0x73
-tip testing found this crash: > [ 35.258515] calling acpi_cpufreq_init+0x0/0x127 @ 1 > [ 35.264127] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) > [ 35.267554] IP: [<ffffffff80478092>] __bitmap_intersects+0x48/0x73 > [ 35.267554] PGD 0 > [ 35.267554] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c is still broken: there's no allocation of the variable mask, so we pass in an uninitialized cmd.mask field to drv_read(), which then passes it to the scheduler which then crashes ... Switch it over to the much simpler constant-cpumask-pointers approach. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
