Simplify the procedure of CPU random selection under
"clocksource_verify_choose_cpus()" with "cpumask_next_wrap()". The
logic is still the same but with this change it can shrink the code size
by 18 bytes and increase readability.

I think Yury submitted the same change here recently:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250607141106.563924-3-yury.norov@gmail.com/
Though, I think he has another iteration needed as Thomas had feedback
on the subject line.
The bloat-o-meter data is a nice inclusion here!
Yury: Would you be open to adapting I Hsin Cheng's commit message into
yours and adding them as co-author via the Co-developed-by: tag?
(Assuming I Hsin Cheng agrees - See
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for how to do this
properly).
thanks

Yeah, bloat-o-meter report is good enough to add co-developed-by tag.
I Hsin, do you agree?

Sure thing, so do I need to apply the tag myself or we'll follow Yury's
patch work?

I'll send v2 and include your results.

John, FYI. I Hsing submitted another patch that duplicates this series. You're in CC, but just in case: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250613033447.3531709-1-richard120310@gmail.com/ I think it's pretty disgusting. I will not make him co-author, and will not give any credit for this work. Thanks, Yury
