bpf_cpumask_populate() copies the final bitmap word without clearing
bits beyond nr_cpu_ids. On configurations where cpumask operations
scan a whole word, those bits can inflate the reported mask weight.

Patch 1 clears the unused tail bits. Patch 2 checks the resulting
weight in the existing populate selftest.

Tested on 97d73c825122 (x86_64, CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64, 4 possible CPUs):
- Unpatched: cpumask/test_populate FAIL (err=5).
- Patched: cpumask/test_populate PASS.
- Patched: cpumask selftests 36/36 subtests PASS.

Not run: allmodconfig, allyesconfig, the full BPF selftest suite,
cross-architecture builds or a dedicated performance benchmark.
The changes have not been rebuilt on top of the target BPF fixes tip.
