Subject: [PATCH -mm 5/8] Introduce new interface schedule_work_on

From: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@...el.com>
Subject: 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.
