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.
