The for_each_cpu_mask loop is used quite often in the kernel. It
makes use of two functions: first_cpu and next_cpu. This patch
changes for_each_cpu_mask to use only the latter. Because next_cpu
finds the next eligible cpu _after_ the given one, the iteration
variable has to be initialized to -1 and next_cpu has to be
called with this value before the first iteration. An x86_64
defconfig kernel (from sched/latest) is about 2500 bytes smaller
with this patch applied:
