[PATCH] riscv: hwprobe: Avoid uninitialized read in hwprobe_get_cpus()

[Mark Harris]

When cpusetsize < cpumask_size(), hwprobe_get_cpus() did not fully
initialize its copy of the cpu mask, which could cause non-deterministic
results from the riscv_hwprobe syscall on a system with more than 8 CPUs
when the supplied cpu mask is empty.  Address this by fully initializing
the cpu mask.
