This bug might have been fixed by 2528a8b8f457d7 ("__bitmap_parselist:
fix bug in empty string handling"), below.  Please check?

    __bitmap_parselist: fix bug in empty string handling
    
    bitmap_parselist("", &mask, nmaskbits) will erroneously set bit zero in
    the mask.  The same bug is visible in cpumask_parselist() since it is
    layered on top of the bitmask code, e.g.  if you boot with "isolcpus=",
    you will actually end up with cpu zero isolated.
    
    The bug was introduced in commit 4b060420a596 ("bitmap, irq: add
    smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq") when bitmap_parselist() was
    generalized to support userspace as well as kernelspace.
