[RFC PATCH v2 06/20] tracing/filters: Optimise scalar vs cpumask filtering when the user mask is a single CPU

[Valentin Schneider]

Steven noted that when the user-provided cpumask contains a single CPU,
then the filtering function can use a scalar as input instead of a
full-fledged cpumask.

When the mask contains a single CPU, directly re-use the unsigned field
predicate functions. Transform '&' into '==' beforehand.
