irq_set_affinity_hit() stores a reference to the cpumask_t
parameter in the irq descriptor, and that reference can be
accessed later from irq_affinity_hint_proc_show(). Since
the cpu_mask parameter passed to irq_set_affinity_hit() has
only temporary storage (it's on the stack memory), later
accesses to it are illegal. Thus reads from the corresponding
procfs affinity_hint file can result in paging request oops.
The issue is fixed by the get_cpu_mask() helper, which provides
a permanent storage for the cpumask_t parameter.

The only struct dim_sample member that does not get
initialized by dim_update_sample() is comp_ctr. (There
is special API to initialize comp_ctr:
dim_update_sample_with_comps(), and it is currently used
only for RDMA.) comp_ctr is used to compute curr_stats->cmps
and curr_stats->cpe_ratio (see dim_calc_stats()) which in
turn are consumed by the rdma_dim_*() API. Therefore,
functionally, the net_dim*() API consumers are not affected.
Nevertheless, fix the computation of statistics based
on an uninitialized variable, even if the mentioned statistics
are not used at the moment.
