cpumask: zero extra bits in alloc_cpumask_var_node
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.
