I agree that this patch fixes the issue reported in [1] without
disabling forced set affinity mask. However Thomas responded yesterday
asking to disable it [2] on the original thread for ARM. I have
responded on the thread and waiting for feedback from rmk and tglx. I
would prefer to wait and align with ARM code if possible.

In case we decide to retain forced set affinity, you can probably squash 
this cpumask_and with the above cpumask_any_and.
