LAST_CPUPID_MASK is calculated using LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH.  However
LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH itself can be 0. (when LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS
is set). In such a case LAST_CPUPID_MASK turns out to be 0.

But with recent commit 1ae71d0319: (mm: numa: bugfix for
LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS) if LAST_CPUPID_MASK is 0,
page_cpupid_xchg_last() and page_cpupid_reset_last() causes
page->_last_cpupid to be set to 0.

This causes performance regression. Its almost as if numa_balancing is
off.

Fix LAST_CPUPID_MASK by using LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT instead of
LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH.
