[PATCH 2/4] padata: Allocate cpumask dependend recources in any case

The cpumask separation work assumes the cpumask dependend recources
present regardless of valid or invalid cpumasks. With this patch
we allocate the cpumask dependend recources in any case. This fixes
two NULL pointer dereference crashes in padata_replace and in
padata_get_cpumask.
