How about doing it this way?

#define for_each_cpu_mask(cpu, mask)				\
	for ((cpu) = -1;					\
	     (cpu) < NR_CPUS;					\
	     (cpu) = find_next_cpu_mask((cpu), &(mask)))

int find_next_cpu_mask(int n, const cpumask_t *srcp)
{
	return find_next_bit(srcp->bits, NR_CPUS, ++n);
}

That actually behaves the way I'd expect a function called
'find_next_cpu_mask' to work.  It also abuses the 'for' condtion
less and might take a little less text space.
