[PATCH 1/2] x86/x2apic: fix NULL pointer def during boot

From: Luiz Capitulino
Date: Thu Aug 04 2016 - 11:06:49 EST


Commit 6b2c28471, moved the allocation of cpus_in_cluster
to the x2apic_prepare_cpu() callback. However, it forgot
to move the cpumask_set_cpu() call that uses it.

This generates a NULL pointer dereference during boot
in machines with x2apic_mode=true.
