Maybe you can change this into:

sched/fair: Make per-cpu cpumasks static

load_balance_mask and select_idle_mask are only used in fair.c. Make
them static and move their allocation into init_sched_fair_class().

Replace kzalloc_node() with zalloc_cpumask_var_node() to get rid of the
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK #ifdef and to align with per-cpu cpumask
allocation for RT (local_cpu_mask in init_sched_rt_class()) and DL
class (local_cpu_mask_dl in init_sched_dl_class()).

You can remove the `Co-developed-by`. I was just reviewing the patch and
gave suggestions.
