This shouldn't be possible, right? The nodemsk we're looping  wouldn't
have had that node set if no CPUs intersect the node_to_cpu_mask for
that node, so the resulting cpumask should always have a non-zero weight.

I'm not so sure about wrapping the vector to share it across nodes. We
have enough vectors in this path to ensure each compute node can have
a unique one, and it's much cheaper to share these within nodes than
across them.
