(Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo)

CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:

#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }

Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:

#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)

Which formalizes this practice.  One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).

So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real struct cpumask *), and remove
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR altogether.
