[PATCH v2 9/9] perf/cxl: Avoid cpumask_of(-1) when no CPU is assigned

[Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com>]

cpumask_show() feeds info->on_cpu straight into cpumask_of() for the
world-readable cpumask sysfs attribute. on_cpu is -1 before the first
hotplug online callback and transiently in cxl_pmu_offline_cpu() before a
new target is chosen. cpumask_of(-1) treats the CPU number as unsigned and
does out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in get_cpu_mask(), so a concurrent
read of the attribute dereferences a wild pointer and can fault -- a local
denial of service.

Read on_cpu once and emit an empty mask when it is negative.
