nit.

Since we are already within an infinite for-loop, can't we simply do:

    /* Do not send IPI to self */
    if (cpu == this_cpu)
        continue;

here and go evaluate cpumask_next() again instead of adding another
do-while? Was the nested loop intentional to highlight these bits
explicitly?
