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:

6219922	 917952	 749932	7887806	 785bbe	vmlinux

The same size reduction is seen for defconfig+MAXSMP

Indeed, thanks.

This version applies on top of sched/latest.

This version reuses the already-existing api next_cpu instead
of inventing a new one; initializing the iteration counter to
-1 was suggested by Matthew Wilcox. Now with a -1 instead of
an overly carefull ~((typeof(cpu))0). "-1" is properly sign-
extended even if cpu is u64 in a 32-bit environment.
