What about adding something like this here:


#ifdef CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK

#define scoped_cpumask_var(_name)                       \
        cpumask_var_t _name __free(free_cpumask_var) = NULL;

#else /* ! CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK */

#define scoped_cpumask_var(_name)                       \
        cpumask_var_t _name __free(free_cpumask_var);

#endif /* ! CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK */


This would make the new code way cleaner.
