cpumask: relax sanity checking constraints
The cpumask_check() was unnecessarily tight, and causes problems for the
users of cpumask_next().
We have a number of users that take the previous return value of one of
the bit scanning functions and subtract one to keep it in "range". But
since the scanning functions end up returning up to 'small_cpumask_bits'
instead of the tighter 'nr_cpumask_bits', the range really needs to be
using that widened form.
[ This "previous-1" behavior is also the reason we have all those
comments about /* -1 is a legal arg here. */ and separate checks for
that being ok. So we could have just made "small_cpumask_bits-1"
be a similar special "don't check this" value.
Tetsuo Handa even suggested a patch that only does that for
cpumask_next(), since that seems to be the only actual case that
triggers, but that all makes it even _more_ magical and special. So
just relax the check ]
One example of this kind of pattern being the 'c_start()' function in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c, but also duplicated in various forms on
other architectures.
