Ingo Molnar f4bb570511 sched/nohz: Remove unnecessarily complex error handling pattern from find_new_ilb()
find_new_ilb() returns nr_cpu_ids on failure - which is the usual
cpumask bitops return pattern, but is weird & unnecessary in this
context: not only is it a global variable, it it is a +1 out of
bounds CPU index and also has different signedness ...

Its only user, kick_ilb(), then checks the return against nr_cpu_ids
to decide to return. There's no other use.

So instead of this, use a standard -1 return on failure to find an
idle CPU, as the argument is signed already.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
