padata: Handle empty padata cpumasks

This patch fixes a bug when the padata cpumask does not
intersect with the active cpumask. In this case we get a
division by zero in padata_alloc_pd and we end up with a
useless padata instance. Padata can end up with an empty
cpumask for two reasons:

1. A user removed the last cpu that belongs to the padata
cpumask and the active cpumask.

2. The last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the
active cpumask goes offline.

We introduce a function padata_validate_cpumask to check if the padata
cpumask does intersect with the active cpumask. If the cpumasks do not
intersect we mark the instance as invalid, so it can't be used. We do not
allocate the cpumask dependend recources in this case. This fixes the
division by zero and keeps the padate instance in a consistent state.

It's not possible to trigger this bug by now because the only padata user,
pcrypt uses always the possible cpumask.
