alloc_cpumask_var() here and below, because you initialize them by
copying

OK, if you can't increment inside for-loop, I'd switch it to a
while-loop:
                w = cpumask_weight(curr);
                cnt = 0;

		while (cnt < w) {

Don't hesitate to add even more vertical spacing. It's like: "take a
breath folks, this section is done". :)
