cpumask: Rephrase comments for cpumask_any*() APIs
The cpumask_any*() APIs comment states that it returns a "random" cpu
within the given cpumask. However it's not actually random as random
itself stands a meaning for uniform distribution.
cpumask_any*() APIs are a naming convention for the caller to states that
it doesn't care which CPU it gets, so change "random" to "arbitrary" would
be more appropriate.
