Corresponding set_cpu_online() is implemented in C-file probably for a
reason. Are you sure that similar function for dying mask should
reside in a header? If so, can you share your reasoning?

Regardless, now that you added the identical function to
set_cpu_online, I think it's worth to make it a general approach:

void set_cpu_counted(unsigned int cpu, bool set,
                        struct cpumask *mask, atomic_t *cnt);

void __always_inline set_cpu_online(unsigned int cpu, bool online)
{
      set_cpu_counted(cpu, online, &__cpu_online_mask, &__num_online_cpus);  
}

void __always_inline set_cpu_dying(unsigned int cpu, bool dying)
{
      set_cpu_counted(cpu, dying, &__cpu_dying_mask, &__num_dying_cpus);  
}
