Subject: [PATCH rcu 9/9] rcu-tasks: Handle sparse cpu_possible_mask in rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs()

If the cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, if bits are set only for
CPUs 0, 4, 8, ...), then rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() will access per-CPU data
for a CPU not in cpu_possible_mask.  It makes these accesses while doing
a workqueue-based binary search for non-empty callback lists.  Although
this search must pass through CPUs not represented in cpu_possible_mask,
it has no need to check the callback list for such CPUs.

This commit therefore changes the rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() function's
binary search so as to only check callback lists for CPUs present in
cpu_possible_mask.
