Subject: Warning in irq_work_queue_on()

Hello, Tejun,

As discussed last week, I am getting an occasional warning out of
irq_work_queue_on() WARN_ON_ONCE(cpu_is_offline(cpu)).  The repeat-by
seems to be a week or so of rcutorture runs on 16-CPU KVM instances
on x86.  So please see below on the off-chance that this is of use.
I have also attached a .config file.

Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul
