Check for a NULL cpumask_var_t when kicking multiple vCPUs via
cpumask_available(), which performs a !NULL check if and only if cpumasks
are configured to be allocated off-stack.  This is a meaningless
optimization, e.g. avoids a TEST+Jcc and TEST+CMOV on x86, but more
importantly helps document that the NULL check is necessary even though
all callers pass in a local variable.

No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
