/**
* kthread_affine_preferred - Define a kthread's preferred affinity
* @p: thread created by kthread_create().
* @mask: preferred mask of CPUs (might not be online, must be possible) for @p
* to run on.
*
* Similar to kthread_bind_mask() except that the affinity is not a requirement
* but rather a preference that can be constrained by CPU isolation or CPU hotplug.
* Must be called before the first wakeup of the kthread.
*
* Returns 0 if the affinity has been applied.
