Changed to

        if (in_compat_syscall())
                ret = compat_get_bitmap(mask,
                                (const compat_ulong_t __user *)nmask,
                                maxnode);

I don't see what you mean here. I can see how having the helper would
simplify copy_nodes_to_user(), but not how it can be shared with the
use in get_bitmap()/get_nodes().
