The recently introduced sched_numa_hop_mask() exposes cpumasks of CPUs
reachable within a given distance budget, but this means each successive
cpumask is a superset of the previous one.

Code wanting to allocate one item per CPU (e.g. IRQs) at increasing
distances would thus need to allocate a temporary cpumask to note which
CPUs have already been visited. This can be prevented by leveraging
for_each_cpu_andnot() - package all that logic into one ugl^D fancy macro.

Hiding two nested loops together in one for_each_* macro leads to 
unexpected behavior for the standard usage of 'break/continue'.

for_each_numa_hop_cpu(cpu, node) {
     if (condition)
         break; <== will terminate the inner loop only, but it's 
invisible to the human developer/reviewer.
}

These bugs will not be easy to spot in code review.

Yeah, it's not ideal, but I *did* attach a comment warning about
it. Spreading this pattern for sure isn't great, but there *is* a precedent
with for_each_process_thread().
