Hmm... So, actually WORK_CPU_UNBOUND is NR_CPUS, which is not the same
as nr_cpu_ids. For example, on my Ubuntu machine, the CONFIG_NR_CPUS
is 8192, and nr_cpu_ids is 8.

So, for the wg_cpumask_next_online() to work properly, we need to
return the WORK_CPU_UNBOUND in case of nothing is found.

I think I need to send a v3...

Thanks,
