Hi Sam,

Thanks for review.

I am confused a bit here, about its correctness(not coding style).

Per my understanding:

A & B = A <-> For every set bit in A, it's set for B; <-> B is superset
of A. <-> A is subset of B.

-	cpumask_and(&mask, cpu_online_mask, affinity);
-	if (cpumask_equal(&mask, cpu_online_mask))

So, codes above is equivalent to:
	if (cpumask_subset(cpu_online_mask, affinity))

Am I missing something?

About the ?:, I will restore original "if else" style.
