cpuset: remove on stack cpumask_t in cpuset_sprintf_cpulist()

This patchset converts cpuset to use new cpumask API, and thus
remove on stack cpumask_t to reduce stack usage.

Before:
 # cat kernel/cpuset.c include/linux/cpuset.h | grep -c cpumask_t
 21
After:
 # cat kernel/cpuset.c include/linux/cpuset.h | grep -c cpumask_t
 0

This patch:

Impact: reduce stack usage

It's safe to call cpulist_scnprintf inside callback_mutex, and thus we can
just remove the cpumask_t and no need to allocate a cpumask_var_t.
