I don't think this patch would change anything, atleast it wouldn't get
rid of the warning that Liu reported. Because, he is running his stress
tests on a machine which has only 2 CPUs. So effectively, we are hotplugging
only CPU1 (since CPU0 can't be taken offline, on Intel boxes).
Also, CPU1 is removed from cpu_active_mask during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE time itself,
and migrate_tasks() comes much later (during CPU_DYING). And in any case,
dest_cpu will never be CPU1, because it is the CPU that is going down. So it
*has* to be CPU0 anyway.
So, I don't think changes to select_fallback_rq() to make it more careful is
going to make any difference in the particular scenario that Liu is testing.
That said, even I don't know what the root cause of the warning is.. :-(
