Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: Fix /proc/cpuinfo cpumask warning

Commit 78e5a3399421 ("cpumask: fix checking valid cpu range") has
started issuing warnings[*] when cpu indices equal to nr_cpu_ids - 1
are passed to cpumask_next* functions. seq_read_iter() and cpuinfo's
start and next seq operations implement a pattern like

  n = cpumask_next(n - 1, mask);
  show(n);
  while (1) {
      ++n;
      n = cpumask_next(n - 1, mask);
      if (n >= nr_cpu_ids)
          break;
      show(n);
  }

which will issue the warning when reading /proc/cpuinfo. Ensure no
warning is generated by validating the cpu index before calling
cpumask_next().

[*] Warnings will only appear with DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS enabled.
