The CPU mask (@tmp) should be free'd on failing to allocating the element
of @cpu_groups[]. Otherwise, it leads to memory leakage because the CPU
mask variable is allocated with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

I think @tmp has to be free'd either when failing to allocate @cpu_groups.
However, I'm holding to post v2 until feedback is received on v1.
Ah sorry, problem with sequential mail reading, ignore my reply as you have
already figured this out.
