This is actually due to a fix for that since returning 0 size breaks
things as well.

7ee951acd31a drivers/base: fix userspace break from using bin_attributes for cpumap and cpulist

The fix for small number of cpus as you have is now in Greg's driver core tree

d7f06bdd6ee8 drivers/base: Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES

and should work it's way back to stable trees soon.
