Again, here it is simpler to use for_each_cpu_and() directly, see previous
comment:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZXgsDcM21H%2F2BTck@fedora/

Meantime patch 1 isn't needed, follows this easier proposal:

diff --git a/lib/group_cpus.c b/lib/group_cpus.c
index ee272c4cefcc..564d8e817f65 100644
--- a/lib/group_cpus.c

 	}
 }
