Take 2:

int seq_buf_bitmask(struct seq_buf *s, const unsigned long *maskp,
		    int nmaskbits)
{
	unsigned int len = seq_buf_buffer_left(s);
	int ret;

	WARN_ON(s->size == 0);

	if (s->len < s->size) {
		ret = bitmap_scnprintf(s->buffer, len, maskp, nmaskbits);
		/*
		 * Note, because bitmap_scnprintf() only returns the
		 * number of bytes written and not the number that
		 * would be written, we use the last byte of the buffer
		 * to let us know if we overflowed. There's a small
		 * chance that the bitmap could have fit exactly inside
		 * the buffer, but it's not that critical if that does
		 * happen.
		 */
		if (s->len + ret < s->size) {
			s->len += ret;
			return 0;
		}
	}
	seq_buf_set_overflow(s);
	return -1;
}
