Before adding a new line at the end of the temporary buffer in
dump_cpumask, a length check is performed to ensure there is space for
it.
len = min(sizeof(kbuf) - 1, *lenp);
len = scnprintf(kbuf, len, ...);
if (len < *lenp)
kbuf[len++] = '\n';
Note that the check is currently logically wrong, the written length is
compared against the output buffer, not the temporary one. However this
has no consequence as this is always true, even if fixed: scnprintf
includes a null char at the end of the buffer but the returned length do
not include it and there is always space for overriding it with a
newline.
Remove the condition.

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 reStructuredText 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.
