Subject: [PATCH 1/2] introduce new interface schedule_work_on

This interface allows adding a job on a specific cpu.

Although a work struct on a cpu will be scheduled to other cpu if the cpu dies,
there is a recursion if a work task tries to offline the cpu it's running on.
we need to schedule the task to a specific cpu in this case.
