cpu_active_mask is rarely changed (only on hotplug), so remove this
operation to gain a little performance.

If there is a change in cpu_active_mask, rq_online_dl() and
rq_offline_dl() should take care of it normally, so cpudl::free_cpus
carries enough information for us.

For the rare case when a task is put onto a dying cpu (which
rq_offline_dl() can't handle in a timely fashion), it will be
handled through _cpu_down()->...->multi_cpu_stop()->migration_call()
->migrate_tasks(), preventing the task from hanging on the
dead cpu.
