There are times when we really want a static cpumask.  Yet we don't
want to expose the struct cpumask definition, to avoid casual on-stack
usage and assignment.

So this macro allows you to do DECLARE_BITMAP(map, CONFIG_NR_CPUS); then use
to_cpumask() to turn it into a cpumask as needed.

Ugly?  Yes, but as we move to fewer static cpumasks these calls vanish.
