Another thing that occurred to me while staring at that function, is
that we could move:

	cpumask_and(cfd->cpumask, mask, cpu_online_mask);

to the very begin of that function, that would then obviate the need for
that cpumask_weight() test afaict.


I'm not sure its worth the trouble, but it would make the function
slightly easier to look at.
