Yes, I think it's needed. do_set_cpus_allowed() doesn't do any checking
against the task_cpu_possible_mask, so if we returned to
select_fallback_rq() with a mask containing a mixture of 32-bit-capable and
64-bit-only CPUs then we'd end up setting an affinity mask for a 32-bit
task which contains 64-bit-only cores.

I think this is a cleanup, so I can include it as a separate patch (see
below).
