cpumask: implement cpumask_parse()
We have cpulist_parse() but not cpumask_parse(). Implement it using bitmap_parse(). bitmap_parse() is weird in that it takes @len for a string in kernel-memory which also is inconsistent with bitmap_parselist(). Make cpumask_parse() calculate the length and don't expose the inconsistency to cpumask users. Maybe we can fix up bitmap_parse() later. This will be used to expose workqueue cpumask knobs to userland via sysfs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
