So as to match the rest of the code altered in commit bc75e99983df1efd
("rcu: Correctly handle sparse possible cpus"), and regardless of
naming, I think it'd be nicer to use leaf_node_cpu_bit(), e.g.

	leaf_node_for_each_mask_possible_cpu(rnp, rnp->qsmask, bit, cpu)
		if (f(per_cpu_ptr(rsp->rda, cpu), isidle, maxj))
			mask |= leaf_node_cpu_bit(rnp, cpu);

IMO, it would be nice to hide the iterator bit somehow, to match
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu(), which this largely looks similar to
otherwise.

Thanks,
Mark.
