The old version I could hope the compiler would call num_possible_cpus() only once if it's marked const or pure, but the alternative is going to count the bits every time making this a guaranteed O(n^2) even though the bitmap doesn't change.
Hmm. This code already unnecessarily calls num_possible_cpus() multiple times. Since it doesn't change after early init I would suggest just calling it once here.
