Another good argument for this patch is the simplification of the code.

This helper is not a cpumask helper - the name should reflect what it is
used for.

Something like:
static bool any_other_mm_cpus(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
	return cpumask_any_but(mm_cpumask(mm), smp_processor_id()) < nr_cpu_ids;
}

The implementation is fine - it is only the naming that should be
improve.
With this change (or a better name):
