Hmm, this isn't right. You can get nr_cpus==0 even though it did add
some to various lists but never was first.

But urgh, even if we were to say count nr_queued we'd never get the mask
right, because we don't track which CPUs have the predicate matched,
only those we need to actually send an IPI to :/

Ooh, I think we can clear those bits from cfd->cpumask, arguably that's
a correctness fix too, because the 'run_remote && wait' case shouldn't
wait on things we didn't queue.

Hmm?
