Subject: [PATCH] tracing/rb: init the CPU mask on allocation

Before commit b32614c03413 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state
machine") the allocated cpumask was initialized to the mask of ONLINE or
POSSIBLE CPUs. After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialisation
moved to trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but I forgot to initially set the
cpumask to zero. This is done now.

Fixes: b32614c03413 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state machine")
