Subject: [PATCH] lib/cpumask.c: Optimize __any_online_cpu() calculation

__any_online_cpu() uses a for loop at the moment.
Instead, use cpumask_* operations to speed it up.

Actually, the patch posted at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/15/101 removed
the last user of any_online_cpu() (and hence __any_online_cpu()).
However, since this is an exported symbol, I refrained from removing this
function altogether.
