Now after moving all NUMA logic into sched_numa_find_nth_cpu(),
else-branch of cpumask_local_spread() is just a function call, and
we can simplify logic by using ternary operator.

While here, replace BUG() with WARN().

Why make this change? It's still as bad to hit the WARN_ON as it was before.

I find the if version clearer, and cleaner too if you drop the brackets.

For the ternary version it would be nice to parenthesize the equality
like you did in cmp() in 3/5.

Minor nit: cmp() in 3/5 could use a longer name. The file's long, and
cmp() doesn't explain _what_ it's comparing. How about cmp_cpumask() or
something related to the function using it?

Other than the above particularities, the whole series looks good to me.

For example, because of this:

Fair enough. It's not like it'll be hit anyway. My concern was for if
any of the 23 callers get an invalid result. I guess that if that causes
a crash, then so be it. We have the warning to track down the cause.

Thanks for the explanation,
