I'm fine with this too. I did a hasty audit of cpumask_scnprintf()
users, and no one can use these functions.

But one last note to the cpumask_scnprintf_len() macro: this macro
should really not have an argument, it should be forced to NR_CPUS.
Else a user could have a too small buffer for the call to
cpumask_scnprintf(), which always calls bitmap_scnprintf() with
NR_CPUS nbits.

Fine.
