Did you mean cpu_possible_mask, or mask_all?

For cpu_possible_mask, these tests are in test_cpumask_first(), albeit under a
slightly different form. Together with the tests in test_cpumask_weight() and
test_cpumask_last(), cpu_possible_mask is already one of the more constrained
masks.

For mask_all, the mask is filled up with nr_cpumask_bits <= NR_CPUS. I could add
cpumask_first(), cpumask_first_zero(), and cpumask_last() tests though.

More tests could be also added for cpu_all_mask, since this does have all
NR_CPUS bits set, but I think that belongs in a separate patch.

I think the extra mask_all and cpu_all_mask test are out of scope for this
patch, but they could be added in another patch (for 6.1).

Best,
Sander
