This caused following runtime warnings. but I don't think here is
real lock inversion.

I think we have two option 1) call lockdep_clear_current_reclaim_state()
every time 2) use for_each_possible_cpu instead for_each_online_cpu.

Following patch use (2) beucase removing get_online_cpus() makes good
side effect. It reduce potentially cpu-hotplug vs memory-shortage deadlock
risk.
