I was just as surprised as you and spent the good part of a day
debugging this. However, a:

	WARN_ON(cpumask_empty(cpus));

triggers at that line of code even though we check for cpumask_empty()
at the entry of the function.

Makes sense.

It's not that hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number() returns garbage, the issue is
that we feed it garbage.

hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number() expects that the input would be in the
range of 0 <= X < num_possible_cpus(), and here if 'cpus' was empty we
would pass in X==num_possible_cpus() making it read out of bound.

Maybe it's worthwhile to add a WARN_ON() into
hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number() to assert as well.
