Don't do "success handling", do "error handling".  Success handling
means we have to indent the code and it makes it more complicated to
read.  Ideally code would look like:

	do_this();
	do_that();
	do_the_next_thing();

But because of error handling then we have to add a bunch of if
statements.  It's better when those if statements are very quick and
we can move on.  The success path is all at indent level one still like
and ideal situation above and the the error paths are at indent level
two.

	if (!cptab)
		return NULL;

This leaks.  It should be:

	if (!zalloc_cpumask_var(&cptab->ctb_mask, GFP_NOFS)) {
		kfree(cptab);
		return NULL;
	}
