nit: `sd span, entry span` but `entry span, cpu_map`. Why not `cpu_map, entry span`?

Everything looks good except that I like this more compact version better, proposed in:  

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YK9ESqNEo+uacyMD@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net

And passing `const struct cpumask *sd_span` instead of `struct
sched_domain *sd` into the function.
