Some BPF programs like scx schedulers have their own internal CPU mask types, 
mask types, which they must transform into struct bpf_cpumask instances
before passing them to scheduling-related kfuncs. There is currently no
way to efficiently populate the bitfield of a bpf_cpumask from BPF memory, 
and programs must use multiple bpf_cpumask_[set, clear] calls to do so. 
Introduce a kfunc helper to populate the bitfield of a bpf_cpumask from valid 
BPF memory with a single call.

Changelog :
-----------
v2->v3
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250305021020.1004858-1-emil@etsalapatis.com/

Addressed feedback by Alexei Starovoitov:
	* Added back patch descriptions dropped from v1->v2
	* Elide the alignment check for archs with efficient
	  unaligned accesses

v1->v2
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250228003321.1409285-1-emil@etsalapatis.com/

Addressed feedback by Hou Tao:
	* Add check that the input buffer is aligned to sizeof(long)
	* Adjust input buffer size check to use bitmap_size()
	* Add selftest for checking the bit pattern of the bpf_cpumask
	* Moved all selftests into existing files
