Subject: [PATCH 4.19 178/287] x86/numa: Use cpumask_available instead of hardcoded NULL check

[ Upstream commit 625395c4a0f4775e0fe00f616888d2e6c1ba49db ]

GCC-12 started triggering a new warning:

  arch/x86/mm/numa.c: In function ‘cpumask_of_node’:
  arch/x86/mm/numa.c:916:39: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as ‘false’ for the address of ‘node_to_cpumask_map’ will never be NULL [-Waddress]
    916 |         if (node_to_cpumask_map[node] == NULL) {
        |                                       ^~

node_to_cpumask_map is of type cpumask_var_t[].

When CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set, cpumask_var_t is typedef'd to a
pointer for dynamic allocation, else to an array of one element. The
"wicked game" can be checked on line 700 of include/linux/cpumask.h.

The original code in debug_cpumask_set_cpu() and cpumask_of_node() were
probably written by the original authors with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
(i.e. dynamic allocation) in mind, checking if the cpumask was available
via a direct NULL check.

When CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is not set, GCC gives the above warning
while compiling the kernel.

Fix that by using cpumask_available(), which does the NULL check when
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set, otherwise returns true. Use it wherever
such checks are made.

Conditional definitions of cpumask_available() can be found along with
the definition of cpumask_var_t. Check the cpumask.h reference mentioned
above.

Fixes: c032ef60d1aa ("cpumask: convert node_to_cpumask_map[] to cpumask_var_t")
Fixes: de2d9445f162 ("x86: Unify node_to_cpumask_map handling between 32 and 64bit")
