This can be further simplified.

We can totally avoid tmask, cpumask_copy(), and cpumask_clear()
by directly updating hmask.

Ahh yes. Thanks for pointing out.

In addition to this patch, we should also handle the case of
empty hart mask in OpenSBI.

Yes. I have few other fixes as well (around fifo race condition and local flushing in OpenSBI).
I will send them soon.
