Subject: [PATCH 04/10] watchdog/hardlockup: In watchdog_hardlockup_check() use cpumask_copy()

In the patch ("watchdog/hardlockup: add a "cpu" param to
watchdog_hardlockup_check()") we started using a cpumask to keep track
of which CPUs to backtrace. When setting up this cpumask, it's better
to use cpumask_copy() than to just copy the structure directly. Fix this.
