No, it is silly to let 'sibl' point to 'cpu + 1', cause we just
want to iterate over 'siblmsk & nmsk', and nothing to do with
the next cpu('cpu + 1').

Andrew, please replace the 1st two patches with the following one:

From 7a983ee5e1b4f05e5ae26c025dffd801b909e2f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] lib/group_cpus.c: simplify grp_spread_init_one()

What the inner loop needs to do is to iterate over `siblmsk & nmsk`, and
clear the cpu in 'nmsk' and set it in 'irqmsk'.

Clean it by for_each_cpu_and().

This is based on Yury Norov's patch, which needs one extra
for_each_cpu_and_from(), which is really not necessary.
