This can be,

	if (!cmsk) {
		cmsk = kzalloc_node(sizeof(*cmsk), GFP_KERNEL, node);
		if (!cmsk)
			return -ENOMEM;
	}

which IMO is more intuitive, and it also "fixes" the unnecessary braces in thew
initial check.

This can be

	if (system_state >= SYSTEM_RUNNING)
		return 0;

to reduce indentation below.

Reusing @cpu here is all kinds of confusing.

This shadows apicid.  That's completely unnecessary.

A helper for retrieving the cluster from a cpu would dedup at least three instances
of this pattern.

The if statement is a little confusing because of the double pointer.  BUG_ON()
won't return, maybe write it like so?

				BUG_ON(*cpu_mask && *cpu_mask != cmsk);
				*cpu_cmsk = cmsk;
