All the printing, seeing as I didn't hit a single cpumask_bits() in this
series.

The cpumask infrastructure itself uses ->bits, which is less verbose
than the helper.

I don't think we need to go as far as having a BUILD_BUG_ON(), because I
don't expect that the layout of a cpumask would change, even for
debugging, but I also don't see the point in keeping cpumask_bits() when
almost nothing uses it.
