RAPL is a module. The module_init() is called during do_initcalls(),
which is after the smp_init(). The cpu_online_mask has been setup in the
smp_init().

I also patched the kernel to double check. The cpu_online_mask indeed
shows all the online CPUs.

[    7.021212] smp: Brought up 1 node, 48 CPUs
[    7.021212] smpboot: Total of 48 processors activated (211200.00
BogoMIPS)
... ...
[   16.557323] RAPL PMU: rapl_pmu_init: cpu_online_mask 0xffffffffffff
