Jack Steiner 4f032ac412 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.
