cpumask: fix slab corruption caused by alloc_cpumask_var_node()
Fix slab corruption caused by alloc_cpumask_var_node() overwriting the
tail end of an off-stack cpumask.
The function zeros out cpumask bits beyond the last possible cpu. The
starting point for zeroing should be the beginning of the mask offset by a
byte count derived from the number of possible cpus. The offset was
calculated in bits instead of bytes. This resulted in overwriting the end
of the cpumask.
