Good catch!

This makes the lifetime rules dependent on the config option, which is
complicated.
Your insight into this issue is appreciated: this code is not simple!
How's this version instead? It puts the cpumask at the end of the kmalloc,
and falls back to smp_call_function_single instead of doing obscure
quiescing stuff.
(Compiles, untested).
Thanks!
Rusty.
