Because nmsk and irqmsk are stable, extra atomicity is not required.

__cpumask_clear_cpu() and __cpumask_set_cpu() are added in commit
6c8557bdb28d ("smp, cpumask: Use non-atomic cpumask_{set,clear}_cpu()")
for fast code path( smp_call_function_many()).

We have ~670 users of cpumask_clear_cpu & cpumask_set_cpu, lots of them
fall into same category with group_cpus.c(doesn't care atomicity, not in
fast code path), and needn't change to __cpumask_clear_cpu() and
__cpumask_set_cpu().  Otherwise, this way may encourage to update others
into the __cpumask_* version.
