[PATCH 0/4] Make cpumask_of_node() robust against NUMA_NO_NODE

This series aims to remedy an issue that not all per-arch versions of
cpumask_of_node() are robust against NUMA_NO_NODE.

In my view, cpumask_of_node() should be able to handle NUMA_NO_NODE. This
is because NUMA_NO_NODE is a valid index from the following flow, where
the device NUMA node is not set (from default):

device_initialize(dev)
set_dev_node(dev, NUMA_NO_NODE);

mask = cpumask_of_node(dev_to_node(dev));

The CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=n x86 version cpumask_of_node() would
produce an array out-of-index issue (when passed NUMA_NO_NODE), which I
think is attempted to be worked around here:

I also see a CVE which also looks related:
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2024-39277

Each per-arch version could be picked up separately, as can the
asm-generic change.
