Yeah, the condition "cpu < 0" could be removed since we have no
that kind of caller.

But another point is like I said before:
'cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, &p->cpus_allowed)' doesn't equal to
'p->rt.nr_cpus_allowed > 1' because we could have bounded
task.
So the condition 'if (cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, &p->cpus_allowed))'
in Hillf's patch is not sufficient.

Thanks,
