[RESEND PATCH v13 8/9] cpumask: Add initialiser to use cleanup helpers

[Gabriele Monaco <gmonaco@redhat.com>]

From: Yury Norov <yury.norov@gmail.com>

Now we can simplify a code that allocates cpumasks for local needs.

Automatic variables have to be initialized at declaration, or at least
before any possibility for the logic to return, so that compiler
wouldn't try to call an associate destructor function on a random stack
number.

Because cpumask_var_t, depending on the CPUMASK_OFFSTACK config, is
either a pointer or an array, we have to have a macro for initialization.

So define a CPUMASK_VAR_NULL macro, which allows to init struct cpumask
pointer with NULL when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled, and effectively a
no-op when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is disabled (initialisation optimised out
with -O2).
