[PATCH v4 1/1] x86: cpuinfo: Ensure inputs to cpumask_next are valid

The valid cpumask range is [0, nr_cpu_ids) and cpumask_next()
currently calls find_next_bit() with its input CPU ID number plus one
for the bit number, giving cpumask_next() the range [-1, nr_cpu_ids - 1).
seq_read_iter() and cpuinfo's start and next seq operations implement a
pattern like

  n = cpumask_next(n - 1, mask);
  show(n);
  while (1) {
      ++n;
      n = cpumask_next(n - 1, mask);
      if (n >= nr_cpu_ids)
          break;
      show(n);
  }

which will eventually result in cpumask_next() being called with
nr_cpu_ids - 1. A kernel compiled with commit 78e5a3399421 ("cpumask:
fix checking valid cpu range"), but not its revert, commit
80493877d7d0 ("Revert "cpumask: fix checking valid cpu range"."),
will generate a warning when DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is enabled each time
/proc/cpuinfo is read. Future-proof cpuinfo by checking its input to
cpumask_next() is valid.
