noted that there is need to map back to the cpu and use that to index
into a cpumask. As such, a valid ID is needed.

If an MPIDR check fails in acpi_map_gic_cpu_interface() it is possible
for the entry in cpu_madt_gicc[cpu] == NULL. This function would
then cause a NULL pointer dereference. Whilst a path to trigger
this has not been established, harden this caller against the
possibility.

v9: New patch in response to a question from Marc Zyngier.
Taking the easy way out - harden against a possible condition rather
than establishing it never happens!
