While OpenRISC currently doesn't fail to build upstream, it appears that
including <asm/smp.h> in the right headers is enough to break that -
primarily because OpenRISC's asm/smp.h header doesn't actually provide
any definition for struct cpumask. Which means the only reason we aren't
failing to build the kernel is because we've been lucky enough that
every spot including asm/smp.h already has definitions for struct
cpumask pulled in.
This became evident when trying to work on a patch series for adding
ref-counted interrupt enable/disable to the kernel, where introducing a
new interrupt_rc.h header suddenly introduced a build error on OpenRISC:

To fix this, let's take an example from the smp.h headers of other
architectures (x86, hexagon, arm64, probably more): just include
linux/cpumask.h at the top.
