Of course, thanks!

AFAIU some CPUs can be dropped from the mask (because they switch to a
different mm?) and if we still flush there it's not a problem. The only
real problem I currently see is that we're passing cpumask_last() result
to hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number() and cpumask_last() returns
num_possible_cpus() when the mask is empty but this can't be passed to
hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number().
